Yes, those are initially here to allow change of the setting via
/proc/sys/kernel/l2cr. I also used them to force passing a different
l2cr values via BootX and for setting up the L2 on the second CPU of
SMP machines and to restore it on wakeup from sleep on laptops
Nothing prevents you, of course, from setting L2 in your arch code
as well using those functions, but it's preferred to have the
firmware set it up properly in the first place.
