860 | (*) The cache "block" size is the size on which the cache management | ||
861 | instructions operate. Historically, this document used the cache | ||
862 | "line" size here which is incorrect. The kernel will prefer the cache | ||
863 | block size and will fallback to cache line size for backward | ||
864 | compatibility. | ||
