I don't think we want to use this frightening jewel for more than necessary.
On the R5000 the secondary cache can nicely be probed by looking at the
c0_config register. c0_config.sc=0 indicates a second level cache is
present, setting the se bit in the same register enables it and the two
ss bits contain the size - doesn't that sound so much nicer than the
insane fragile stunt necessary for the R4000?
