It is not clear to me why this function is needed. I went back to
read James' comment and it sounds to me as though he expected it
to be called from non-arch code ... but this is only called
from rdt_get_mon_l3_config() which is very much architecture specific
and will remain in arch/x86 where rdt_cpu_has() will be accessible.

This is confusing to me in two ways:
(a) why need different layers of abstraction to initialize r->mbm_assign_capable
and r->mbm_assign_cntrs? Can they not just be assigned at the same time?
(b) r->mbm_assign_capable is a bool ... but it is assigned an enum? Why is
this enum needed for this?

Either the resource is mbm_assign_capable or not ... it is not clear
to me why an enum is needed.

Please check tabs vs spaces (in this whole series please).
I'm thinking that a new "MBM specific" struct within
struct rdt_resource will be helpful to clearly separate the MBM related
data. This will be similar to struct resctrl_cache for
cache allocation and struct resctrl_membw for memory bandwidth
allocation.
