[PATCH v3] Fix missing L2 cache size in /sys/devices/system/cpu

From: Dave Olson <olson at cumulusnetworks.com>

This problem appears to have been introduced in 2.6.29 by
93197a36a9c16a85fb24cf5a8639f7bf9af838a3.

This caused lscpu to error out on e500v2 devices, and probably others
 error: cannot open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/size: No such file or directory

Some embedded powerpc systems use cache-size in DTS for the unified L2 cache
size, not d-cache-size, so we need to allow for both DTS names.  Added a
new CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED_D cache_type_info structure to handle this.

This patch is against git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc.git
next branch.  It is the same as the v2 patch, but against next, rather than master.
I can rebase, if desired.
