I'm not sure if removing that code is a proper solution.

I talked about this with Ralf some days ago and he said we should add cpu_wait = NULL; somewhere in the platform specific code. This problem seams to just affect the 74K CPU used on the BCM4706 and not on the other Broadcom SoC using a 74K CPU. Hauke
