+What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/cache_disable_X
+Date: August 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.27
+Contact: mark.langsdorf@amd.com
+Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
+ There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
+ directory. Reading from these files on a supported
+ processor will return that cache disable index value
+ for that processor and node. Writing to one of these
+ files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.
+
+ Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index
+ disable, and only for their L3 caches. See the BIOS and
+ Kernel Developer's Guide at
+ http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/31116-Public-GH-BKDG_3.20_2-4-09.pdf
+ for formatting information and other details on the
+ cache index disable.
