Subject: [PATCH][retry 3] Conform L3 Cache Index Disable to Linux standards


Add ABI Documentation entry and fix some /sys directory formating
issues with the L3 Cache Index Disable feature for future AMD
processors. Add a check to disable it for family 0x10 models
that do not support it yet.

+Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
+ There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
+ directory. Reading from these files on a supported
+ processor will return that cache disable index value
+ for that processor and node. Writing to one of these
+ files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.

I went to try to apply this patch to -tip, but I *cannot* do so without
a Signed-off-by: line.

(This also means I have done no testing whatsoever.)

This affects all configurations that don't have a k8 northbridge as
well:

text data bss dec hex filename
3277392 330356 327680 3935428 3c0cc4 vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
3277891 330452 327680 3936023 3c0f17 vmlinux.with.k8.c

Please consider leaving that conditional compilation as is and define
dummy accessors for when this code is disabled.

This means a user that is never allowed to write sometimes gets an
'Invalid argument' instead of the 'Permission denied'. Perhaps it's
better to do that permission check first?
