powerpc/smp: Enable CACHE domain for shared processor
Currently CACHE domain is not enabled on shared processor mode PowerVM
LPARS. On PowerVM systems, 'ibm,thread-group' device-tree property 2
under cpu-device-node indicates which all CPUs share L2-cache. However
'ibm,thread-group' device-tree property 2 is a relatively new property.
In absence of 'ibm,thread-group' property 2, 'l2-cache' device property
under cpu-device-node could help system to identify CPUs sharing L2-cache.
However this property is not exposed by PhyP in shared processor mode
configurations.
In absence of properties that inform OS about which CPUs share L2-cache,
fallback on core boundary.
Here are some stats from Power9 shared LPAR with the changes.
