New versions of AMD processors have support to disable parts
of their L3 caches if too many MCEs are generated by the
L3 cache.
This patch provides a /sysfs interface under the cache
hierarchy to display which caches indices are disabled
(if any) and to monitoring applications to disable a
cache index.
This patch does not set an automatic policy to disable
the L3 cache. Policy decisions would need to be made
by a RAS handler. This patch merely makes it easier to
see what indices are currently disabled.
