Remind me again pls why is all this RDT stuff replicated per CPU instead
of it being properly detected somewhere down in resctrl_late_init()?

Looking at get_rdt_resources(), it kinda wants to have that in there
too?

IOW, how about moving all that gunk in init_cqm() to resctrl/ where it
truly belongs? Doesn't have to be this patchset but this patchset can
start moving it...

Thx.
