From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua...@intel.com>
Each cache is described by cacheinfo and is unique in the same index
across the platform. But there is no id for a cache. We introduce cache
ID to identify a cache.
Intel Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows some control on the
allocation policy within each cache that it controls. We need a unique
cache ID for each cache level to allow the user to specify which
controls are applied to which cache. Cache id is a concise way to specify
a cache.
Cache id is first enabled on x86. It can be enabled on other platforms
as well. The cache id is not necessary contiguous.
Add an "id" entry to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/
