Yah, I know what I'm doing thanks :) The comment is a bit
misleading indeed. It should read something like clear out
the low 8 bits of the address (including parity) as they
aren't supported by the SCOMC and always zero.

You just removed a few sync's...

Here; you also just changed a few isync's ... oh well, I'll have
a look. I did the sync based on apple stuff, I suspect a sync before
would still be usedful to make sure pending memory accesses are
completed, not specifically for the frequency change, but in general
as the SCOM can be used to manipulate the L2 cache among others and
I may use it to put the cache in direct mode for flushing one of
these days.
