We enable the branch prediction. Comments is wrong.
I will change it.

This #define is no more in used. I just copy pasted from P1010RDB.h and 
P1_P2_RDB.h.
i will remove it.

You are right. exception vector table is located here.
I will add correct value.

It is defined in README at line 2093.
But as part of powerpc no code is written for this.

i will remove it.

The requirement is to use u-boot.bin instead of CONFIG_UBOOTPATH?
is my understanding correct?

I will check this point and re-spin the patch
