Subject: [PATCHv5 08/10] node: Add memory caching attributes

System memory may have side caches to help improve access speed to
frequently requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is
transparent to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications
can optimize their own access based on cache attributes.

Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory side caches
under the memory node that provides it.

The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo
attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/<cpu>/side_cache/.
Unlike CPU cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from
the view of the memory. A higher number is nearer to the CPU, while
lower levels are closer to the backing memory. Also unlike CPU cache,
it is assumed the system will handle flushing any dirty cached memory
to the last level on a power failure if the range is persistent memory.

The attributes we export are the cache size, the line size, associativity,
and write back policy.

Add the attributes for the system memory side caches to sysfs stable
documentation.
