>Description:
        Duplication of cache information in the kernel and usr.sbin/cpuctl
        leads to significant difficulties in synchronizing changes.
        
>How-To-Repeat:
        
>Fix:
At a minimum, the following patch to src/sys/arch/x86/include/cacheinfo.h
should be made to allow us to share the definitions.  Further changes are
still required to permit sharing of the tables created in both the kernel
and cpuctl, but this is a start.  After making these changes, we need to
#include <sys/cacheinfo.h> in src/usr/sbin/cpuctl/arch/i386.c and remove
the duplicated definitions.
