54 * other CPUs are reduced by preventing the data from unnecessarily spanning
55 * cachelines.
56 *
57 * An example of this would be statistical data, where each CPU's set of data
58 * is updated by that CPU alone, but the data from across all CPUs is collated
59 * by a CPU processing a read from a proc file.
