I'm curious how far it gets though. I've removed a couple of the
all-caches-are-equal assumptions.
At least one of the remaining (in fact, the only one I can spot right now)
can be circumvented by putting the module with the largest cache in
MBus slot #0. It appears you have already done that.
So, modulo all of the other hypersparc bugs left, that would not be
a showstopper.
