Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
> How does this look in practice?
It works on a x86 machine is shown below:
# find /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/l2 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/l2/enable /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/l1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hwpf/l1/enable

There is no specific reason for directory names. We named it "l*" because it is related to a certain cache level. We would change it, if there is another suitable name.

Sorry, that's our mistake. The "strong" is correct.
