Hello,
This series implements a simple L2 unified per-core cache emulation, the L2
cache is not enabled by default and is only enabled on specifying so using the
plugin arguments. L2 cache is only accessed if L1 does not contain the wanted
block. If a miss occur in L1, the block is "fetched" to L1, and then L2 is
interrogated. This effectively mean that on a cache miss, we bring the data to
all the cache hierarchy, which is quite reasonable.
Note: Some +80-column lines are left as is, since they're all 81~83 cols and I
thought that it's so important to break them since breaking a line usually looks
ugly when not sufficiently long(?) LMK if I need to fix this :)
