Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] Add support for Sub-NUMA cluster (SNC) systems

The Sub-NUMA cluster feature on some Intel processors partitions
the CPUs that share an L3 cache into two or more sets. This plays
havoc with the Resource Director Technology (RDT) monitoring features.
Prior to this patch Intel has advised that SNC and RDT are incompatible.

Some of these CPU support an MSR that can partition the RMID
counters in the same way. This allows for monitoring features
to be used (with the caveat that memory accesses between different
SNC NUMA nodes may still not be counted accurately.

Note that this patch series improves resctrl reporting considerably
on systems with SNC enabled, but there will still be some anomalies
for processes accessing memory from other sub-NUMA nodes.

Please ignore v7 posting. There was some glitch in how I created
the patches with "git format-patch" that meant part 0004 would not
apply.

Changes since v6:

* Fixed spelling of "accurately" in cover letter.

* Applied changes from Peter Newman's review
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CALPaoChB5ryT96ZZBQb6+3=xO+A0uR-ToN0TWqUjLJ7bgi==Rg@mail.gmail.com
(and follow-on posts against other patches in the v6 series).

See comments in indivdual patches for specific details.

Added Peter's "Reviewed-by" to parts 4-7.q
