There are some differences between G2/e300 DABRs and Book3S DAWRs. G2/e300
DABRs provides some functionalities like "Match if EA less/greater than DABR",
"combined mode" etc. are not present with DAWRs. DBCR on G2/e300 also provides
which DABR caused the exception. So this series might not directly allow to
use DABR2 but, I guess, it should work as base infrastructure.
