Subject: [PATCH 4.14 44/52] x86/intel_rdt: Enable CMT and MBM on new Skylake stepping

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>

commit 1d9f3e20a56d33e55748552aeec597f58542f92d upstream.

New stepping of Skylake has fixes for cache occupancy and memory
bandwidth monitoring.

Update the code to enable these by default on newer steppings.
