I see a panic in early boot when building with a recent gcc
toolchain.
The issue is a divide by zero, which is undefined. Older toolchains
let us get away with it:
Maybe we should panic though ... not having a valid cache block size
is going to be fatal in other areas...
 ... Unless it's for L2/L3 caches. Of course...

int foo(int a) { return a / 0; }

foo:
	li 9,0
	divw 3,3,9
	extsw 3,3
	blr

But newer ones catch it:

foo:
	trap

Add a check to avoid the divide by zero.
