[Why] DCValidator is created/destroyed repeatedly for cofunctional validation which causes a lot of memory thrashing, particularly when Driver Verifer is enabled. [How] Implement a basic caching algorithm that will cache DCValidator with a matching topology. When a match is found, the DCValidator can be reused. If there is no match, a new one will be created and inserted into the cache if there is space or an unreference entry can be evicted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
