In an initial test where I mark a rom chip as WB cacheable, on the
P4 I appear to be successful.  It occurs to me that my earlier failure
to do this with the Athlon may simply have been because I didn't put
the second cpu to sleep, and I was getting cross-cpu cache contention.

To get this really useful I need a relocateable linuxBIOS, so I can
use global variables both when running from the cache and when I have
memory setup.  The most portable way to do this appears to be setting
up page tables so I can use virtual addresses in linuxBIOS.
