[PATCH v1 00/13] Enable Memory Bandwidth Allocation in Xen

[Yi Sun <yi.y.sun@linux.intel.com>]

Hi, all,

We plan to bring a new PSR (Platform Shared Resource) feature called
Intel Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) to Xen.

Besides the MBA enabling, we change some interfaces to make them more
general but not only for CAT.

The implementation bases on below patch set which has been merged into
staging branch.
[PATCH v15 00/23] Enable L2 Cache Allocation Technology & Refactor psr.c
