CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries. At previous commits, the mapping tables for such descriptors were merged into one consolidated table. The mapping was also transformed into a hash lookup instead of a loop-based lookup for each descriptor. Use the new consolidated table and its hash-based lookup through the for_each_leaf_0x2_tlb_entry() accessor. Remove the old cache-specific mapping, cache_table[], as it is no longer used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
