I still stand by my decision, sorry.
I am sorry for every Sparc users because it was a chance for them to
easily explore and use machine description without having to install an
external tool and a scripting language plus dependencies (potentially a
lot of dependency). Users may also not know about /dev/mdesc whereas a
mere "grep -ri cache /sys" would be fruitful.
Also mdesc is root accessible only. Exposing all or even just a
selection of machine description nodes to users via sysfs provides them
with the visibility of for instance TLBs and Caches (number, size, and
more importantly how they are organized in the processor).
