Thanks, James. This is really useful for us at Ampere since it enables
the MPAM driver on top of this series.

I've tested this series on an Ampere implementation, by successfully
using resctrl to configure and exercise MPAM functionality. I can't
speak to the effects of the refactor on x86 since I have not tested that
all.

For the series:
