something more fine-grained will be required for interfaces that implement

I think you could do it by squeezing down some text strings, and removing

All,
Here are detailed design documents for determining cache and TLB
geometry across our currently supported processor architectures,
with recommendations outlined for implementation.
What I haven't addressed yet is how indirect consumers of the API might

I came up with the attached text file today to summarize some of my
findings, after looking at various open source trees to see how they
handle run-time cache geometry detection.
Many will find it ironic that i386 is the easiest platform to deal with.
