Please fix that. > Ah, I overlooked it. But I am not creating any new sysfs files in this series. I am just trying to unify duplicated code in various architectures. Since these sysfs files are already created in: 1. arch/ia64/kernel/topology.c 2. arch/powerpc/kernel/cacheinfo.c 3. arch/s390/kernel/cache.c 4. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c and also already used by user-space tools like `lscpu` I assumed it's already documented. I will add it in next version.
