X-ES's mpc8572/8561 boards don't currently use 1 TLB to just map the
0xfffff000 region, we use same TLB that is used for flash (covering
0xf0000000-0xffffffff).

It looks like a fair number of other mpc85xx non-MP boards currently use
the 0xfffff000 region for flash too.  This patch wouldn't affect them,
but I assume when those vendors produce a board with MP support, they'd
like to keep the same memory map, in which case they'd run into the same
issue as I'm having with not reserving the 0xfffffxxx region for BPTR
use.

In any case, I was wondering if you'd be up for changing this patch to
save/restore the TLB you're disabling instead of hardcoding the
"restore".  I could send a follow-up patch if you're OK with the concept
too.

I feel like our use of the 0xfffff000 memory region is starting to make
us the red headed stepchild of the mpc85xx MP family:)

Thanks,
Peter
