Why "ibm,xxx"? Is this for the CPU core? Or for the SDRAM controller core? 
Both are not IBM in this case.

I forgot the new 405EX which will be equipped with a DDR2 controller (not sure 
right now if it's the Denali or the other core right now). So we should 
probably drop this 40x/44x completely. Does this make sense?
