x86: L3 cache index disable for 2.6.26



New versions of AMD processors have support to disable parts
of their L3 caches if too many MCEs are generated by the
L3 cache.

This patch provides a /sysfs interface under the cache
hierarchy to display which caches indices are disabled
(if any) and to monitoring applications to disable a
cache index.

This patch does not set an automatic policy to disable
the L3 cache.  Policy decisions would need to be made
by a RAS handler.  This patch merely makes it easier to
see what indices are currently disabled.
