Ideally, I'd really like to report LLC size, but it turned out to be a
bit of a pain. Maybe I'll revisit it in the future.

I think a getparam for eLLC would be neat, so that usespace can use it to
tune working set sizes.

And I assume drop debugfs?

Yeah, I guess the DRM_INFO message in dmesg should be good enough
then. For userspace's convenience we could even look into exposing the
LLC size with a getparam.

I would like to do this since we have easy access to cpuid. I know Chad
really wants it. If you'll accept the patch, I'll write it.

I really want to know the cache sizes.

Actually, I didn't expect the kernel to do this for me. So, I've prototyped
a patch for Mesa to probe the cache sizes with CPUID. If the
kernel does that for Mesa, then I can likely drop my Mesa patch.
