Out of curiosity, is there significance to the value 2 and associated
virtual address 0xffffffffffff8100, or is it pretty arbitrary?

Yes, there is significance.

CPU local memory starts at 0xffffffffffff8000, each line is 0x80 bytes.
so the 2nd line starts at 0xffffffffffff8100

What I mean is, why is 2 chosen instead of any other value?

That is explained in the change log of patch 5/8:


    1st 128-bytes: Use by IOBDMA
    2nd 128-bytes: Reserved by kernel for scratch/TLS emulation.
    3rd 128-bytes: OCTEON-III LMTLINE


Cheers
James
