No reason as far as I can see, the creation of this patch predates the generic cacheinfo sysfs infrastructure. The patch itself doesn't add cache information to cpuinfo though, only corrects a bug in the information that is already there. We should look into exposing the info in the generic cache info sysfs and potentially removing the information from cpuinfo. Stefan
