Shouldn't be doing it on a 7447A or 7448 either as they are 744x series
which explicitly does not have L3 cache capability. Ironically these
are the only chips where you can actually determine the difference between
having L3 and not having L3, since the 7447 and 7457 (and all previous pairs)
share the same CPU PVR.
