5Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
6 There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
7 directory. Reading from these files on a supported
8 processor will return that cache disable index value
9 for that processor and node. Writing to one of these
10 files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.

13 disable, and only for their L3 caches. See the BIOS and
