Well, we really only have three processors here--the 020, 030 and 040.
There are some issues with the various external cache options on the 030
and 040, but those will be as much or more of an issue late in the boot
sequence as they are early on.

I'd like to fix the code that we've got rather than disable things "for now"
because "for now" can end up being a long time.
