Yes, this seems to be a leftover I didn't manage to clean up yet. The
"sideband" range is called L2 LIM in the datasheet and seems to be a
way to use the cache directly. The Sifive docs read "When cache ways
are disabled, they are addressable in the L2 Loosely-Integrated Memory
(L2 LIM) address space [..]". This feature is not used by Linux on the
JH7100, so can just be removed here.
