[U-Boot-Users] Turning on instruction address translation on an 8349 causes processor reset

I'm working on adding support for a new 8349 board to U-Boot, and the processor resets if I turn on the IR bit in the MSR. This happens in function enable_addr_trans() in start.S.
enable_addr_trans:
/* enable address translation */
mfmsr r5
ori r5, r5, (MSR_IR | MSR_DR)
mtmsr r5
isync
blr
with this code, when the "mtmsr" instruction is executed, the processor resets (or hangs - I can't tell). If I change the 4th line to:
ori r5, r5, MSR_DR
It works and U-Boot boots to a command prompt.
Since the BATs are configured the same for data and instruction, I presume the mapping is correct, but there's something wrong with turning on instruction address translation. Anyone have any ideas?
