Instead of passing silently round down the number of pages, make it an
error that the cache size is not a multiple of 2.

s/multiple/power/?

Would this patch break existing users?

Thanks.

> Would this patch break existing users?

I have a problem here. Current code:
- "silently" truncate the value that we pass
- "silently" uses a different value that the one that it shows as used
- "shows" a value that is different of what has been set to

So, I have to break one of them:
- only allow valid values (and then we output the same value that user
  input)
- store "setup" value, and use something different "internaly"

No clear winner.  This way we are at least consistent with everything
else.  Documentation already required a power of 2 value.  And we give a
good error message.

Later, Juan.
