[PATCH v7 00/16] 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.

Any comments are welcome!

This version bases on below pre-fix patch which has been merged into staging
branch:
"x86: psr: support co-exist features' values setting"
