		Description: Cache id

		The id provides a unique number for a specific instance of
		a cache of a particular type. E.g. there may be a level
		3 unified cache on each socket in a server and we may
		assign them ids 0, 1, 2, ...

		Note that id value can be non-contiguous. E.g. level 1
		caches typically exist per core, but there may not be a
		power of two cores on a socket, so these caches may be
		numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, ...
