System memory may have side caches to help improve access speed. While
the system provided cache is transparent to the software accessing
these memory ranges, applications can optimize their own access based
on cache attributes.
Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory side caches
under the memory node that provides it.
The kernel's sysfs representation is modeled from the cpu cacheinfo
attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/side_cache/.
Unlike CPU cacheinfo, though, the node cache level is reported from
the view of the memory. A higher number is nearer to the CPU, while
lower levels are closer to the backing memory. Also unlike CPU cache,
it is assumed the system will handle flushing any dirty cached memory to
the last level the memory on a power failure if the range is persistent
memory.
The attributes we export are the cache size, the line size, associativity,
and write back policy.
