This patch removes the redundant sysfs cacheinfo code by reusing
the newly introduced generic cacheinfo infrastructure through the

interface to userspace via sysfs")

Removing the include doesn't fix it, it needs cacheinfo_cpu_on/offline().


I agree, had a quick look at that, and it requires some rework not sure
if that should be in generic code or ppc specific.

Yeah OK.

Also if I just remove the references from the suspend code, it still causes
changes to the result, some of which look wrong:

Thanks for the log. It's been long time since I looked at this code.
It would be good to know if Anshuman had looked at this issue. If not
I will start looking at this in couple of days.
