Subject[PATCH 1/7] x86/intel_rdt: Intel Cache Allocation Technology detection
Date
This patch adds support for the new Cache Allocation Technology (CAT)
feature found in future Intel Xeon processors. CAT is part of Intel
Resource Director Technology(RDT) which enables sharing of processor
resources. This patch includes CPUID enumeration routines for CAT and
new values to track CAT resources to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.

Cache Allocation Technology(CAT) provides a way for the Software
(OS/VMM) to restrict cache allocation to a defined 'subset' of cache
which may be overlapping with other 'subsets'. This feature is used
when allocating a line in cache ie when pulling new data into the cache.
The programming of the h/w is done via programming MSRs.

More information about CAT be found in the Intel (R) x86 Architecture
Software Developer Manual, section 17.15.

Thanks for the feedback from Boris,Ingo,PeterZ,Tejun.Following changes made
based on comments:
-Improved the description of RDT specifying the cache level. Intel SDM chapter
number describing the technology is included in the code comment.
-Included 'depends CPU_SUP_INTEL' for RDT_config in init/Kconfig. Although
cpuid enumeration would check for the feature , its best to not have the code
active.
-Corrected space indent in the comment in cpufeature.h.
-Changed the CAT datastructure to u16 in cpuinfo.
