cachesize — Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.

Synopsis

cachesize= n

Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt to work around and fix known problems with most CPUs, but for some CPUs it is not possible to determine what the correct size should be. This option provides an override for these situations. n is measured in units of bytes.
