From a78bfbfcfaca64e6198f164c43a60afc8a50e2c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Brose Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 07:20:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Add kernel parameter to set l3cr for MPC745x 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).
