Ok, we can write the code to basically have whatever cache coherency stuff gets
written when getting the memory interface working and not worry about the L2 or
other cores existing at all, treating it as a writethrough transparent cache.
The design I'm working on is integrated closely enough with the L1 cache that
it will still need at least a little of the coherence protocol to support
atomics, but it can be built to have a WishBone interface adaptor.
