[G4] Quicksilver L3 cache query

The L3 cache generally resides on the processor module. Seems very 
unlikely that it could have been removed. It's not a separate module 
that could have another use. It's strange that the profiler is not 
showing it. My 933 QS shows 2MB L3 cache in the profiler. Could this be 
a third-party upgrade of some sort?
