[PATCH] alpha: use L1_CACHE_BYTES for cacheline size in the linkerscript

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Dec 28 2010 - 06:34:00 EST


Currently the linker script uses 64 for cacheline size which isn't
optimal for all cases. Include asm/cache.h and use L1_CACHE_BYTES
instead as suggested by Sam Ravnborg.
