Wolfgang,

These are actually now used in cpu/ppc4xx/start.S and are probably already
included in the latest 4xx pull from Stefan. So, this patch might be a no-op
at this point.

Regardless, while they are not used in include/configs/kilauea.h and
include/configs/makalu.h yet (but both could and should be) I have used them
in the include/config/<board>.h for the new boards I am supporting for a
client. They make it much easier to decode BxAP and BxCR settings than an
arbitrary 32-bit hex value.

Regards,

Grant
