Aka "CPU_210". See

ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/documentation/misc/ppc405f6v5_2_0.pdf

Given that it is (officially) "Category 2" ("Major impact, workaround is
impractical to implement, or a substantial risk of encountering the same
or additional problems, including performance issues, exist after the
workaround is implemented."), I (personally, so to speak) wouldn't even
bother with it and simply say "you might have way too busted PPC405
model, please check and replace it if you want threading" or something
like that in the docu instead.
