[PyPy-issue] [issue673] Linux L2 cache size

[David Edelsohn]

New submission from David Edelsohn <dje.gcc at gmail.com>:

The information returned by /proc/cpuinfo is processor-dependent.  Not all Linux
architectures return cache size in that structure.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cache/indexN/size

is more portable.  Although it requires a little more groveling to find a valid
cpu and the outermost index.
