let us reliably distinguish / associate with differet cache
banks when placing guests, if there's multiple caches of the
same type associated with the same CPU.
<cache>
<bank id="0" type="l3" size="56320" units="KiB" cpus="0,2,3,6,7,8"/>
<bank id="1" type="l3" size="56320" units="KiB" cpus="0,2,3,6,7,8"/>
<bank id="2" type="l3" size="56320" units="KiB" cpus="3,4,5,9,10,11"/>
<bank id="3" type="l3" size="56320" units="KiB" cpus="3,4,5,9,10,11"/>
<bank id="4" type="l2" size="256" units="KiB" cpus="0"/>

Opps, ignore this. I remember the reason we always report available
resource separately from physically present resource, is that we
don't want to re-generate capabilities XML every time available
resource changes.
So, yes, we do need some API like virNodeFreeCache() / virs nodefreecache
yes, we need this.
We probably want to use an 2d array of typed parameters. The first level of
the array would represent the cache bank, the second level woudl represent
the parameters for that bank. eg if we had 3 cache banks, we'd report a
3x3 typed parameter array, with parameters for the cache ID, its type and
the available / free size
id=0
type=l3
avail=56320
id=1
type=l3
avail=56320
id=2
type=l3
avail=56320

Daniel
