The thing is, some identification code needs errata workarounds to happen
(such as the cache sizing code for eg). There comes a point where
splitting stuff up into lots of little files goes too far and becomes
a hindrance rather than a benefit.

When the slicing & dicing happens, I'll take a look at the sizes of
the bits, and see if it's worthwhile.
