After a quick look in some other ppc manuals (AMCC and Freescale) this seems to be not only a 440GX problem, but a generic ppc problem. I will prepare a patch for this.
If you just use the proper assembler instructions for the mttb/mftb variants, the assembler will chose the right encoding for the processor model.
I didn't find any code referencing these registers.
This is why I don't like people just arbitrarily going through the manuals and generating such #defines. If we don't use something, let's not define it. How are you going to test a patch to "fix" this stuff if it isn't used? Just delete it and forget it.
Thanks.
