Why the #if here? Do we just need to include <linux/cache.h> explicitly
to make sure we get the define?

Trivial but I think it's safe to assume a cacheline is always a power of
2. And I think it's clearer (and avoids generating a divide) to use
subtraction rather than division... so this could all become:
(ilog2(cache_line_size()) - 4) << 5;
- R.
