ISB=100 is needed when you use the MPC8272ADS_lowboot_config target
which is in the u-boot-1.1.3 branch at CVS. Jerry's patch has been
applied there and you can find many other differences.

When using this, it assumes as the initial IMMR 0xF0000000 (so ISB=100)
as this is the value expected by Linux kernel. When using BCSR, u-boot
has to change it from 0x0F000000 to 0xF0000000. So if we have the control
of HRCW, why don't do things in the simpliest way. :-)

See enclosed Jerry's patch applied 04-November-2004

Best regard,
