Error Message: Can not generate mask for the LMB peripherals

Question

I've added a bunch of  perhipherals to my microblaze project and used the Generate Addresses button.  I get the below error messges when I try to generate a net list. ERROR:EDK:3193 - issued from TCL procedure
   "::hw_lmb_bram_if_cntlr_v2_10_b::update_syslevel_mask" line 88

   based on a set of decode bits that distinguish the LMB address space from the
   OPB/PLB address space. The error message indicates that a set of decode bits
   can not be found to generate a mask. Please modify the address map of the
   slaves connected to OPB/PLB to use a common address bit.

Version 11.3 I actually figured it out, its rather odd that the generate addresses button doesn't do this automatically. It appears that the mask was set to trigger use of the cache on a single bit.  0x00800000.  I had enough devices added where automatic address generation was using the most significant bit meaning that bit was falling within other address spaces. I changed it to 0xFFFFC000.  (Basically telling it to match addresses if all address signals above 16KB are zero).  I don't know if that is the proper way to do it, but it accepted it.  Now I'm fighting with some stuff regarding an FSL bus I added that apparently isn't quite properly setup, so I haven't found out yet if the processor likes that address mask.   But the tools appear to like it.
