At the same time I don't want to render anyone's hardware

should
remove it, it could well be broken already.
So I guess post a series to do the removal and we'll see if
anyone
speaks up.
We shouldn't remove 40x completely. Just remove the Xilinx 405
stuff.
Congratulations on becoming the 40x maintainer!
Didn't I give you my last 40x system ? :-) IBM still put 40x cores
inside POWER chips no ?
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_400), 405
cores are used in modern equipments (how modern ?), however 403 has
never reached the market.
Can we start removing 403 stuff ? That's not a lot, but still.
Does anybody knows anything about this ERRATUM 77 stuff ? Is that still
an issue with all 405 cores or has this been fixed long time ago and can
be removed ?
