So I think we've determined that PA2.0 booting problems are related to the
PDC_BTLB call which isn't implemented in 2.0 processors.  

My thought would be to try such a call, and if it fails, then configure
cache lines in a way specific to 2.0 processors.  Am I right?

How should we be configuring this?

We've now got some puffins and HP people with 2.0 boxes, so it'd be really
nice to get these boxes booting.
