Sorry, I have been very busy and I have been putting this off.
I think you are correct that CAR expects power of 2 cache sizes. How
about just error if the size isn't power of 2 between 4K and 64K? If you
wanted to support non power of 2 you should round up otherwise you might
write off the end.
Note that Geode platforms don't use the same car file as K8 and has a
max cache size of 32K. See arch\x86\geodelx\stage0.S
