            We need to double check proper way of determining CPU cache line size. Plus XtraDB had one more source file with CACHE_LINE_SIZE definition/

            Adjusting cache line size is the right thing in theory. But in practice we didn't see any noteworthy throughput increase with this patch. We'll get back to this patch when we have proof that smaller cache line size negatively affects performance.

            Axel reported that this patch gives ~5% throughput increase @ 20cores.
