All, I've been reviewing the use of the cpu_l2cache_* functions and found that 1) they're missing from cpu_witch() and 2) they are always used in conjunction with either cpu_idcache_* or cpu_dcache_*. Since most CPU variants define them as null ops, isn't it better to incorporate the functionality of cpu_l2cache_* in cpu_idcache_* and cpu_dcache_* and eliminate them altogether? Any objections to me removing cpu_l2cache_* and therefore changing the semantics of cpu_idcache_* and cpu_dcahce_* to apply to all relevant cache levels? Thanks, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
