On mpc83xx without a QE, IMMR is 1Mbytes.
Each driver will map a part of it to access the registers it needs.
Some driver will map the same part of IMMR as other drivers.

In order to reduce TLB misses, map the full IMMR with a BAT.

Any reason not to unconditionally make it 2M? After all, the kernel being
built with CONFIG_QUICC_ENGINE doesn't mean that the hardware you're running
on has it...


Euh .. ok. I didn't see it that way, but you are right.

Do you think it is not a problem to map 2M even when the quicc engine is not there ? Or should it check device tree instead ?
