[PATCH 9/9] powerpc: A new cache shape aux vectors

Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh at kernel.crashing.org
Wed Jan 4 16:15:35 AEDT 2017


The definition is loosely based on sh and alpha, modified to
accomodate larger associativity and cache size for future-proofing.

We currently set all the values to -1 which indicates that the
information isn't available.
