+Description:    These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
+                There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
+                directory.  Reading from these files on a supported
+                processor will return that cache disable index value
+                for that processor and node.  Writing to one of these
+                files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.
+
+                Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index
+                disable, and only for their L3 caches.  See the BIOS and
+                Kernel Developer's Guide at
+                http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/31116-Public-GH-BKDG_3.20_2-4-09.pdf
+                for formatting information and other details on the
+                cache index disable.
