Subject: [PATCH v2 26/35] x86/resctrl: Describe resctrl's bitmap size assumptions

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

resctrl operates on configuration bitmaps and a bitmap of allocated
CLOSID, both are stored in a u32.

MPAM supports configuration/portion bitmaps and PARTIDs larger
than will fit in a u32.

Add some preprocessor values that make it clear why MPAM clamps
some of these values. This will make it easier to find code related
to these values if this resctrl behaviour ever changes.
