This looks good to me. A couple of places remain that treat
pid_t as int ... that is via the %d format specifier
used to do the printing in print_results_cache() as well as
print_results_bw(). I understand we do not see any warnings
since these are indeed int. So, I wonder if an explicit (int) cast
would not make things obvious and match the stated goal of
not treating pid_t as int?
