[PATCH] intel_cacheinfo: remove MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit
Initial internal version of Venki's cpuid(4) deterministic cache parameter identification patch used static arrays of size MAX_CACHE_LEAVES. Final patch which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit hunk still in place. cpuid(4) already has a mechanism to find out the number of cache levels implemented and there is no need for this hardcoded MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit. So remove the MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit from the routine which calculates the number of cache levels using cpuid(4) Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
