Hi,
I read the Intel IA-32 developer's manual recently, and I found
the cache lines for L1 and L2 caches in Pentium4 are 64 bytes
wide, but the thing make me confused is that the default value
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT option in 2.4.x kernel is 7, why it's
not 6? Any expanation about this would be appreciated!
