[PATCH v6 4/4] i386/cpu: add has_caches flag to check smp_cache configuration
Posted by Zhao Liu 4 days, 14 hours ago
From: Alireza Sanaee <alireza.sanaee@huawei.com>

Add has_caches flag to SMPCompatProps, which helps in avoiding
extra checks for every single layer of caches in x86 (and ARM in
future).

Note: Picked from Alireza's series with the changes:
 * Moved the flag to SMPCompatProps with a new name "has_caches".
   This way, it remains consistent with the function and style of
   "has_clusters" in SMPCompatProps.
 * Dropped my previous TODO with the new flag.
---
Changes since Patch v2:
 * Picked a new patch frome Alireza's ARM smp-cache series.
