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

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.
