+powerpc 7450 MMU initialization broken
+
+The 7540 family of PPCs' MMU can update TLBs using hardware search (like a 604 or 7400) but also using a software algorithm. The mechanism used is defined by HID0[STEN].
+
+By default (CPU reset) HID0 is set to 0x80000000 (BTW; another small bug, qemu doesn't set the hardwired MSB), hence
+the software-table lookup feature is *disabled*. However, the default (and immutable) 'mmu_model' for this CPU family is POWERC_MMU_SOFT_74XX which choses the soft TLB replacement scheme.
+
+To fix this:
+
+1) the initial mmu_model for the 7450 family (includes 7441, 7445, 7451, 7455, 7457, 7447, 7448) should be: POWERPC_MMU_32B
+2) when HID0[STEN] is written then the mmu_model should be changed accordingly (I'm not familiar enough with the qemu internal state to judge if any cached state would have to be updated).
