Sorry, but I don't want to have board specific code in
arch/powerpc/cpu/74xx_7xx/start.S

Please turn this into a feature dependent define, if it is really
needed.

Also, can you provide a rational explanation how the decrementer
depends on data cache being enabled?  This sounds pretty strange to
me.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
