[PATCH v17 1/8] target/arm/tcg: increase cache level for cpu=max
Posted by Alireza Sanaee via 1 month ago
This patch addresses cache description in the `aarch64_max_tcg_initfn`
function for cpu=max. It introduces three levels of caches and modifies
the cache description registers accordingly.

Not (I think) worth a respin, but this would ideally say why.
Maybe something about presenting a more realistic setup and ensuring
the cache topology can be sufficiently complex to exercise that code
on TCG?
