Thanks Steve!
By the way, I'll send out a revised version of the banked cache code later this
week.

This looks great, thanks. I started looking at your patches back when you
sent them out but ran out of time and haven't gotten back to it. I'm on
vacation right now, but I'll take a look at the banked cache code specifically
when I get back to work (later this week or early next).

Hey all,
As a first step to submit my first patch, here is a brief PPT presentation
for the banked cache module. Let me know if you have any questions. I will
refine the code and submit the full patch after learning your opinions.
