Bah. What's wrong with

	bool *enable = arg;

	wrmsrl(IA32_L3_QOS_CFG, *enable);

That does not have this cute type cast, right?

That's the last time I ask for consistent variable ordering politely:

	cpumask_var_t cpu_mask;
	struct rdt_domain *d;
	int cpu;

So you skip the key enable, but the mount persists and the return value of
that function is not propagated.

What means 'reset CBMs to max value'? I know what it means as do you and a
few others. 3 month from now we all scratch our heads...

Why?

	if (rdt_resources_all[RDT_RESOURCE_L3DATA].enabled) {

only executes that if the thing was enabled.
