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.
