sorry
bt i cudnt find these options in the menu config && grep of
.config resulted in only 2 cache elements...
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=5
CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y
CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y
similarly i cudnt find inode and dentry config items i assume they are
created by default by linux vfs bt can we control the numbe of inode and
dentry caches.

CMIIW, but I thought was for inode cache and dentry cache.
Of course, my assumption was purely on the names starting wih I and D
repectively..... and I don't have a Linux box right now to go and
check it out
these options are under the processor options so they are not the inode/dentry cache
AFAIR those are cache architectures .. ICACHE stands for instruction cache and DCACHE stands for Data cache CMIIW
