The OCTEON III cn78xx and cn73xx family of SoCs has some architectural
differences from previous OCTEON processors.

Did you test this series also on older OCTEONs? A lot of common files
seems to be modified, so it would be good to describe how it was tested.


Yes, I tried to be very careful not to break things that already work.

Tested on:

CN7890 -- OCTEON III
CN7360 -- OCTEON III
CN5750 -- OCTEON Plus


In the case of CN5750, I booted a full Debian system from the on-board CF with no problem.

In any event, this is code that we have been running internally across all OCTEON models for several years.
