Re: IBM 750GX SMP on Marvell Discovery II or III?

750 series with MEI protocol is a dog for
Multi-Processor system. If you are working for a
high-end products, change it NOW to G4+. 750 is G3.

GT64260 is not good enough for MP yet. Someting
related to 60xbus vs. MPX.

Anyway, right, for PPC MP system, the best way is:
64360 + G4

Also, try to read latest errota when doing the design.

If not, what's the problem in getting it supported? An older mail by
Cort Dougan said it was because of TLB invalidate information not
being broadcasted, but it was a really old mail, has anyone come up
with any workarounds?

The real killer is that the cache management instructions are not
broadcast. The fact that the TLB invalidations are not broadcast is
painful but it can be worked around in the kernel. In contrast, the
cache management instructions are used in userspace.
