  Tested on Rattler8248.

* Patch by Andre Renaud, 08 Nov 2004:
  Fix watchdog support in common/lcd.c

* Patch by Marc Leeman, 05 Nov 2003:
  Enable all 4 PCMBRW buffers for the MPC8245 processor since the CPU
  bug only affects the XPC8245 processors

+	 * The following bug only affects older (XPC8245) processors.

+	 * The effect is:
+	 * when transferring X words, the first 32 words are transferred
+	 * OK, the next 3 x 32 words are 'old' data (from previous DMA)
+	 * while the rest of the X words is xferred fine.

+	 * Disabling 3 of the 4 32 word hardware buffers solves the problem
