I guess you mean cpu/74xx_7xx/ ?
start.S - to accommodate the additional 8 BATS (total 8 instruction, 8 data) routines effected: invalidate_bats(), setup_bats() speed.c - the 750FX needs a unique multiplier table (hid1_multipliers_x_10) routines effected: get_clocks()
Should this be #ifdef CONFIG_750FX build rule? If not, should there be some processor identification in the routines effected to take the correct action? This would be unique to the 750FX right now but future CPUs may need this too.
I think it makes sense to add this using a CONFIG_750FX #define; if it turns out that (many) other CPUs will need this, we may optimize this later.
Happy hacking!
