Subject: [PATCH 4/8] Read L1 data cache size from sysconf if possible
The probing of the L1 data cache size is sometimes not reliable. This can
cause the tuning to yield varying, sub-obtimal results. But on Linux the
L1 data cache size can usually be retrieved with sysconf instead, which is
faster and more reliable. Do this whenever possible.
