Any chance we can handle these in generic code?
I expected this request :) Can we let this for a second phase to have
e6500 enabled first?

I don't see the value of duplicating code in e500 specific code only to remove and combine it in common code in a follow-up patch after that.

Can you share with us a Book3S setup so I can validate the requested
changes? I already fell anxious touching strange hardware specific
Book3S code without running it.

Until a few weeks ago I had an externally reachable G5 machine that we could've used for this. Unfortunately I had to replace the box with another one that's not quite as stable. I'll try and see if I can fix or replace it soon.
