Your attachment seems to be windows line end damaged.
Also the changes are so small that it's not worth adding a CONFIG
for it. Just add it unconditionally.
And hardcoding the cache size for all of SiS seems a bit extreme.
What happens when SiS ever brings out another part with different caches?
Ideally figure out some way to detect this particular CPU and only
use 8 KB only for that. Alternatively ignore it (there's nothing
really in the kernel that uses the cache sizes anyways)
