I was hoping to get some feedback on some work I'm doing related to  
how multicore MPC85xx systems will boot.

I was thinking of using the term 'core' as a command name (I know this  
is a bit overloaded).  Something like:

core <coreID> release <addr>		// release coreID to start execution at  
<addr>
core <coreID> pir <pir>			// set pir for coreID once released
core <coreID> r3 <val>			// value of r3 for coreID once released
core <coreID> r4 <pir>			// value or r4 for coreID once released
core <coreID> r7 <val>			// value of r7 for coreID once released
core <coreID> reset			// reset coreID

I'm open to a better command prefix.
