This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled
x86: Add cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() add Quark legacy_cache()
to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree
which can be found at:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue
This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please
reply to this email.

Subject: x86: Add cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() add Quark
legacy_cache()
commit aece118e487a744eafcdd0c77fe32b55ee2092a1 upstream.
Intel processors which don't report cache information via cpuid(2)
or cpuid(4) need quirk code in the legacy_cache_size callback to
report this data. For Intel that callback is is intel_size_cache().
This patch enables calling of cpu_detect_cache_sizes() inside of
init_intel() and hence the calling of the legacy_cache callback in
intel_size_cache(). Adding this call will ensure that PIII Tualatin
currently in intel_size_cache() and Quark SoC X1000 being added to
intel_size_cache() in this patch will report their respective cache
sizes.
This model of calling cpu_detect_cache_sizes() is consistent with
AMD/Via/Cirix/Transmeta and Centaur.
Also added is a string to idenitfy the Quark as Quark SoC X1000
giving better and more descriptive output via /proc/cpuinfo
Adding cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() will enable calling
of intel_size_cache() on Intel processors which currently no code
can reach. Therefore this patch will also re-enable reporting
of PIII Tualatin cache size information as well as add
Quark SoC X1000 support.
