[patch] Export Last Level Cache topology to userspace

[Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>]

Hi,

right now the sysfs topology information exports things like sibling
maps (which cpu is a hyperthreading peer of another) and which "linux
cpus" share the physical package. The patch below adds a bitmap in the
same style that exports which "linux cpus" share the last level cache.
This is relevant at least for the current line of Intel Quad cores (but
also for AMD's dual core offering) where the biggest cache isn't shared
on the package level, but only be some cores (Intel) or only one core
(AMD). 

This information is useful for userspace that wants to do explicit
process placement, and in specific, I'm going to need it in the
irqbalance rewrite (which is going to balance irqs on the cache domain
level).
