 create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-cache_disable

Oops, shouldn't Date and KernelVersion be adapted to reflect 2.6.30
and say June 2009.

I don't know.

Regards,
Andreas

+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.
