each arch is responsible for making sure the right value bubbles up.  if that 
means they have to tail into asm/arch/cache.h, that's the arch's problem.

keep in mind, this is the API already in use by Linux, so they must have 
solved the issue there for the pile of SoC's they support (and i'm fairly 
certain they support just as many as us if not more).
