Subject: [PATCH 6/7] x86/intel_rdt: Intel haswell CAT enumeration

CAT(Cache Allocation Technology) on hsw needs to be enumerated
separately. CAT is only supported on certain HSW SKUs.  This patch does
a probe test for hsw CPUs by writing a CLOSid into high 32 bits of
IA32_PQR_MSR and see if the bits stick. The probe test is only done
after confirming that the CPU is HSW.
