This series adds a generic cacheinfo support similar to topology. The
implementation is based on x86 cacheinfo support. Currently x86, powerpc,
ia64 and s390 have their own implementations. While adding similar support
to ARM and ARM64, here is the attempt to make it generic quite similar to
topology info support. It also adds the missing ABI documentation for
the cacheinfo sysfs which is already being used.

It moves all the existing different implementations on x86, ia64, powerpc
and s390 to use the generic cacheinfo infrastructure introduced here.
These changes on non-ARM platforms are only compile tested and tested on x86.

This series also adds support for ARM and ARM64 architectures based on
the generic support.

The code can be fetched from:
git://linux-arm.org/linux-skn cacheinfo


I am hoping to target this for v3.19 if possible, it would be good if
you can review and provide feedback.

3.18-rc1 just came out a few _hours_ ago, and now we can start worrying
about what goes into 3.19. I have 1257 emails in my "to-review" queue
for 3.19, please give me a chance to catch up in a few weeks to get to
this code.


I completely understand and I am sorry if that was a noise.
I just wanted to ensure it's not lost, thanks for letting me know it's
in your list.

Regards,
Sudeep
