The way it is currently coded, we specify the total cache size with the
L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS (and associativity), but in RubyConfig.C , this is
divided by the number of L2 banks per chip.

  L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS = L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS -
log_int(g_NUM_L2_BANKS_PER_CHIP);

Thus you should be simulating 512 KB total
