ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units
are related to each other in tree like fashion. Caches are
also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties
of the caches in relation to other caches and processing units.

Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total
number of levels of cache for a given core using
acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual
cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the
cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific
code.

An additional patch later in the set adds the ability to report
peers in the topology using find_acpi_cpu_topology()
to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level
in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related
processing units which exist as threads, within a given
package, etc.

I don't think you really need the explicit type cast here and above,
but that's very minor.

Please feel free to add

to the patch and route it through the arch tree as needed.

Thanks for looking at this (and the ack of course)!

As an FYI, the in my build without the type cast, the -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types (sourced from the root Makefile) triggers an error.



thanks again.
