Indeed, I missed how resctrl_arch_update_cpu() introduced in
"x86/resctrl: Abstract PQR_ASSOC from generic code" results in
__resctrl_sched_in() being architecture agnostic.

(sidenotes ...  it is not obvious to me why resctrl_arch_update_cpu()
is not consistently used, for example, in clear_closid_rmid(),
and it also seems a better candidate to be inline within
arch/x86/include/asm/resctrl.h)

The wrappers are intended to be architecture-independent, but the keys
are architecture dependent. Quoting the commit you linked to:
"This means other architectures don't have to mirror the static keys"
