Re: new powerpc hardware



The PowerPC 405 is in-tree and is similar to 440, but there are
some differences.  I'm not sure how similar e500 is.

In pmap wise, the two are different beasts.  The following URL
describes the basic characteristics of AMCC/IBM PPC440.

And the next is how FreeBSD approached to handle e500 core;

Then summary of e500 core is here;

(I feel uncomfortable to see obscure L1 MMU and L2 MMU naming scheme...)
