:), glad to hear it is working for you. I just discovered a minor bug in the patch.
The icbi instruction is missing in the instruction check and I THINK it has the
the same problem as the dcbX instructions. To be sure you can just add an extra:
	cmpwi	cr0,r20,1964 /* Is icbi? */
	beq+	142f
in the instruction check code.

It is also possible to enable the use of dcbX instructions in the kernel for 8xx.
Look in lib/string.S and kernel/misc.S

Also, I am working to improve the patch, make it more efficient.
I can let you know when I have something ready.
