Umm, the same thing as on all the Ultrasparc "i's" and "e's", it's not a 
complete ultrasparc processor.  Things have been left out, for example, the 
SMP stuff has been chopped, and the caches tend to be smaller, (when they 
have caches... I don't consider 128K or 256K to be worth counting as a 'L2 
cache', those are the size of L1 caches.  Putting them in between the L1 
cache and the main system RAM does not make them a _real_ L2 cache, it just 
makes them a buffer.
