+ * AT_*CACHEBSIZE above represent the cache *block* size which is
+ * the size that is affected by the cache management instructions.
+ *
+ * It doesn't nececssarily matches the cache *line* size which is
+ * more of a performance tuning hint. Additionally the latter can
+ * be different for the different cache levels.
+ *
+ * The set of entries below represent more extensive information
+ * about the caches, in the form of two entry per cache type,
+ * one entry containing the cache size in bytes, and the other
+ * containing the cache line size in bytes in the bottom 16 bits
+ * and the cache associativity in the next 16 bits.
+ *
+ * The associativity is such that if N is the 16-bit value, the
+ * cache is N way set associative. A value if 0xffff means fully
+ * associative, a value of 1 means directly mapped.
+ *
+ * For all these fields, a value of 0 means that the information
+ * is not known.
