Would it be a good idea to kick in a per-SoC threshold value into
the l2x0 range clean function, such that if the range exceed this
specific threshold it cleans all of it? That way it'd be possible
to optimize for each SoC quite easily.

I've heard that these things may even depend on OPPs etc so it may
even be some dynamic value...
