    commit af992e7abdc9049714da76cae1e5e18bc4838fb8
    Author: Noah Goldstein <goldstein.w.n@gmail.com>
    Date:   Wed Jun 7 13:18:01 2023 -0500

        x86: Increase `non_temporal_threshold` to roughly `sizeof_L3 / 4`
```

Split `shared` (cumulative cache size) from `shared_per_thread` (cache
size per socket), the `shared_per_thread` *can* be slightly off from
the previous calculation.

Previously we added `core` even if `threads_l2` was invalid, and only
used `threads_l2` to divide `core` if it was present. The changed
version only included `core` if `threads_l2` was valid.

This change restores the old behavior if `threads_l2` is invalid by
adding the entire value of `core`.

Noticed this when working on the AMD patch, but think the
fix should be seperate.
