[boost] cache size runtime detection

We have a bunch of cross-platform CPU cache size and cache line size 
detection that we want to offload into boost in preparation for the 
first reviewable version of Boost.SIMD.

It's rather smallish in term of API but the code is non-trivial. I think 
it's a bit broad to be in utility/core, doesn't really fit in align and 
IIRC there is no "general memory related" library in Boost.

Questions:

1/ would there be interest to have such utility in Boost ?
2/ here should we put it ? Is Boost.Memory a viable solution or could it 
be hosted somewhere non-trivial ?
