Sorry for the resend, the list software stripped my text attachment.

Old-world powermacs don't set L2CR or L3CR on processor upgrade cards.
This simple patch allows the setting of L3CR via a kernel parameter
(like the existing kernel parameter to set L2CR).

This is the first time I've posted a patch, please excuse me if I've
broken protocol or done this improperly in any way.
