PeterZ asked for some overview of what you're doing and why, you
responded to his mail, but I was expecting to see that text incorporated
here somewhere.
He also asked for some comments, which I would also like to see.
I'm also not clear why we want to rename it to "bigcore", that's not a
commonly understood term, I don't think it's clear to new readers what
it means.
Leaving it as the shared cache domain, and having a comment mentioning
that "bigcores" share a cache, would be clearer I think.
cheers
