Changes since U-Boot 1.1.4:
======================================================================
+* PPC440 DDR setup: Set SDRAM0_CFG0[PMU]=0 for best performance
+ AMCC suggested to set the PMU bit to 0 for best performace on
+ the PPC440 DDR controller.
+ Please see doc/README.440-DDR-performance for details.
+ Patch by Stefan Roese, 28 Jul 2006
+
* AMCC bamboo (440EP) U-Boot image reduced to 384kbyte
Please see doc/README.bamboo for details.

+AMCC suggested to set the PMU bit to 0 for best performace on the
+PPC440 DDR controller. The 440er common DDR setup files (sdram.c &
+spd_sdram.c) are changed accordingly. So all 440er boards using
+these setup routines will automatically receive this performance
+increase.
+
+Please see below some benchmarks done by AMCC to demonstrate this
+performance changes:

+Array size = 2000000, Offset = 0

+Each test is run 10 times, but only
+the *best* time for each is used.
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+Your clock granularity/precision appears to be 1 microseconds.
+Each test below will take on the order of 112345 microseconds.
+ (= 112345 clock ticks)
+Increase the size of the arrays if this shows that you are not getting
+at least 20 clock ticks per test.

+WARNING -- The above is only a rough guideline.
+For best results, please be sure you know the precision of your system
+timer.
