I have no objection to the drivers, but I wonder if these should be
in drivers/bus and drivers/memory instead of drivers/soc, which have
similar drivers already. The driver for the L2 cache is not really a
memory controller driver, but it may be close enough, and we
already have a couple of different things in there.
