Ignore it because it can't make the code act detrimentally?  The only
room for fatal error would be if the DLC was being seen as a DX4 *and*
we had DLC-specific cache management code that *wasn't* being correctly
triggered to take care of the DLC non-cacheable-bit honoring bug or
the no-bus-snoop bug.
