On mpc83xx with a QE, IMMR is 2Mbytes and aligned on 2Mbytes boundarie. On mpc83xx without a QE, IMMR is 1Mbyte and 1Mbyte aligned. Each driver will map a part of it to access the registers it needs. Some drivers will map the same part of IMMR as other drivers. In order to reduce TLB misses, map the full IMMR with a BAT. If it is 2Mbytes aligned, map 2Mbytes. If there is no QE, the upper part will remain unused, but it doesn't harm as it is mapped as guarded memory. When the IMMR is not aligned on a 2Mbytes boundarie, only map 1Mbyte.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
