This is the core used by Xilinx in their Virtex-{2 Pro, 4} FPGAs.
The documentation is a bit incosistent about naming, IIRC I took
the "PPC405D5X{1,2}" label from their errata sheet.

The evbppc/virtex port is rather exotic WRT regular 4xx chips,
so it sounds fair to treat it as a special case. I'm probably
going to create custom plb/opb indirect-config implementations
for it, as simonb@ suggested -- it looks like the simplest
general-enough approach.
