 Hi,
 
 the patch contains "3rd-level" entries. Is this a typo or by purpose?
 
 If yes, I'm not sure if the page coloring algorithm was designed to be
 tuned to the 3rd-level cache size or not. It's not unreasonable to
 think it was designed for the highest cache level, but I don't know.
 
 The 0x82 case (patch: cache size 128 -> 256) is already done in current
 independently from your submission.
 
 Bye,
 Alexander.
