+      bit 0-9:	  Cache set-associativity 0 means fully associative.
+      bit 10-13:  Log2 of cacheline size.

+    WARNING: The cache *line* size can be different from the cache *block*
+             size. The latter, represented by vectors 19,20,21, is the size
+	     used by the cache management instructions such as dcbz. The
+	     cache line size on the other hand is the real HW line size
+	     for a given cache level which might be different and should
+	     only be used for performance related tuning
