Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] x86/resctrl: Non-contiguous bitmasks in Intel CAT

Until recently Intel CPUs didn't support using non-contiguous 1s
in Cache Allocation Technology (CAT). Writing a bitmask with
non-contiguous 1s to the resctrl schemata file would fail.

Intel CPUs that support non-contiguous 1s can be identified through a
CPUID leaf mentioned in the "Intel® Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference" document available at:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/intel-sdm.html

Add kernel support for detecting if non-contiguous 1s in Cache
Allocation Technology (CAT) are supported by the hardware. Also add a
new resctrl FS file to output this information to the userspace.
Keep the hardcoded value for Haswell CPUs only since they do not have
CPUID enumeration support for Cache allocation.

Since the selftests/resctrl files are going through many rewrites and
cleanups the appropriate selftest is still a work in progress. For
basic selftesting capabilities use the bash script attached below this
paragraph. It checks whether various bitmasks written into resctrl FS
generate output consistent with reported feature support.
