But: since the cacheline is available in cputable, it can still be

stuff like the dcbz loops should still be OK (might need an audit
though to make sure there's nothing missed). With that, you could
at least still boot an E500MC kernel on E500.
Its not as simple as that since there are assumptions about how many
bytes a dcbz will clear.
Ok, ppc64 already gets that info from the cputable, not from compile
time options. I guess ppc32 lacks that so far.
