Ben,
Can you take a look at this.  I think its pretty straight forward and if 
your ok with it please forward on to linus.

Some variants of 745x may not actually have the L3CR register.  Since
we mark which variants of 745x have L3CRs in the cputable we can
use that information to ensure that the mfspr L3CR will not cause
an exception in the processors that don't have the register.
