Correcting myself, the behaviour of 1<<X with X>31 beeing undefined, the
compiler was free to do a modulo, and so caused some real "seen" bits to
be garbled.
So I would suggest modifying slightly glibc to not mask bits above 31,
thus allowing platform-specific high-value tags to be passed there in
the future.
In the meantime, I still need a <31 number allocated for those cache
line sizes ;)
Ben.
