PVR is the Processor Version Register, indicates which CPU you have

 Thanks, I'd already found that on google.  First attempt to dump mine
into a printk is building - don't hold your breathe ;-)
 The PVR is 80010201 so it uses the "7455 others" code.
Hrm... I invite you to read the gazillion errata for this chip rev :(

You should also contact the AmigaOS folks, they might have configured
something in the northbridge in a way that won't work when the M bit is
set but there might be a workaround. I suppose their northbridge spec is
kept behind closed door though, as it is common nowadays :(
