+Description:
+ Storage devices may report a preferred minimum I/O size,

+Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
+ There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each

+ Kernel Developer's Guide at
+ http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/31116-Public-GH-BKDG_3.20_2-4-09.pdf
