No 3rd level cache.

Null.

So all is correct, except for the missing trace cache entries.

Patch below adds several missing descriptors, fixes up
an errata workaround, and adds reporting for the trace cache.
I've no Intel hardware to test this code with, so if people can
make sure I've not broken anything, that'd be good (I hate touching this code).

Alex, with this patch, you should see..

CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 8K
CPU: L2 cache: 512K

Confirmed ?
