hum, so cacheline_size does not need to be global, if you use
cpu__cacheline_size in your next patch, right?

I dont think this is the best place to call the setup,
on the other hand I can't think of any suitable ;-)

how about lazy initialization from cpu__cacheline_size?

We also have page_size variable which gets initialized
in main and is globaly accesable. I wonder we should
add the cacheline_size variable in the same way.
