I have a question about the PowerPC cache line clean dcbst instruction.
Is this instruction used at all in Linux ?
If used, where ? kernel ? libc ? special builds of user space applications ?
It's used in the kernel and in every program that uses shared
libraries.  I would expect that applications such as Java JIT
compilers would use it too.
