17468727abSAlex ChiangDescription:	These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
18468727abSAlex Chiang		There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
19468727abSAlex Chiang		directory.  Reading from these files on a supported
20468727abSAlex Chiang		processor will return that cache disable index value
21468727abSAlex Chiang		for that processor and node.  Writing to one of these
22468727abSAlex Chiang		files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.
23468727abSAlex Chiang
24468727abSAlex Chiang		Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index
25468727abSAlex Chiang		disable, and only for their L3 caches.  See the BIOS and
