Sorry, it was only a brief sentence. Basically, if the total size of all
cached areas is not bigger than CPU cache size, no cache line will be
evicted and the cache behaves like Cache-as-RAM (CAR). That should be
doable in Bochs, KVM and Qemu.

Or were you looking for BIOS code to enable CAR? That is indeed
processor specific, but any of the existing CAR implementations will
work if the catchall emulation is used.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
