Hi all,

We plan to bring a new PSR (Platform Shared Resource) feature called
Intel L2 Cache Allocation Technology (L2 CAT) to Xen. It has been enabled
in Linux Kernel.

Besides the L2 CAT implementaion, we refactor the psr.c to make it more
flexible and easily to extend to add new features. We abstract the general
operations of all features and encapsulate them into a structure. Then,
the development of new feature is simple to mainly implement these callback
functions.

The patch set can be found at:
https://github.com/yisun-git/xen.git l2_cat_v14

V14 change list:

Patch 1:
    - fix a typo.
      (suggested by Meng Xu)
    - modify revision.
Patch 4:
    - rename 'feat_l3_cat' to 'feat_l3' to represent for either L3 CAT or CDP.
      Because only one of them can exist at same time.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - put address of 'feat_l3' back into it if 'cat_init_feature()' fails to
      avoid leakage.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 7:
    - rebase domctl.c on latest code: bool_t is replaced by bool.
Patch 8:
    - add 'const' for parameter 'val[]' in 'write_psr_msrs'.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 9:
    - remove parameter '**val' in skip_prior_features and return the length to
      skip value array in the caller.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - remove a stray blank.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 12:
    - changes related to 'skip_prior_features' change in previous patch.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 13:
    - remove the 'Notes' in commit message because a stub function is
      implemented to avoid potential issue.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - remove 'feat_l3_cdp' because it can be replaced by 'feat_l3'.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - implement stub callback functions for CDP to avoid system crash if
      not full CDP patches applied.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - directly assign correct value to 'alt_type' of CDP.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - goto L3 CAT init process if CDP init fails.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 16:
    - remove the 'Notes' in commit message because a stub function is
      implemented to avoid the potential issue.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - put address of 'feat_l2_cat' back to it if 'cat_init_feature()' fails
      to avoid leakage.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - change 'feat_name' to 'cat_feat_name' and move it into
      'cat_init_feature()' which is the only caller.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
    - register the callback functions into 'l2_cat_props' to avoid crash if
      user does not apply later patches.
      (suggested by Jan Beulich)
Patch 18:
    - rebase domctl.c on latest codes: bool_t is replace by bool.
