Yeah, so if the 'cache index' naming has already been settled, then I suspect we'll have to live with it - but at least let's name it 'cache-index' when we refer to it, not just 'index' which is super confusing (to me!).
I.e. instead: The id identifies a cache in the platform. In same index, the id is unique across the platform. Something like this is more readable I think: The cache-id identifies a hardware cache of the system within a given cache-index category of caches. The (cache-index,cache-id) pair is unique for the whole system. agreed? Thanks, Ingo
