It comes from uboot.  Can you point me in the right direction to make
sure its right?
               PowerPC,8248@0 {
                       device_type = "cpu";
                       reg = <0>;
                       d-cache-line-size = <d#32>;
                       i-cache-line-size = <d#32>;
                       d-cache-size = <d#16384>;
                       i-cache-size = <d#16384>;
                       timebase-frequency = <0>;
                       clock-frequency = <0>;
               };
