Hi,
I was about to apply this because I assumed it was the same patch
I sent in March, but then I found this:

The structs added by this patch are supposed to represent the
legacy cache sizes, and must match the old code. My original
patch set l2_cache_amd.associativity=16 because of that.
This patch changes 0x80000006 from associativity=16 to
associativity=8. Why?
