e.g.
"If the processor has an L3 cache, then bit 15 of msr C001_102A
(ClLinesToNbDis) must be set. This bit needs to eventually be cleared
in order for the OS to use the L3 cache. But BIOS must not clear this
bit until cacheable accesses to the flash chip are no longer needed.
This situation applies only to family 10h processors that have L3 cache."
yikes.
