I've been playing around with this series (after running the python
script to get the full effect of where the code is headed).

Things seem to look pretty good. I haven't noticed anything failing
(but I haven't done extensive testing).

I've skimmed over the patches and posted some nitpicks on a couple
of them. I'll try to find time to make a proper review pass.

Just to see whether I still understand the new layout I took my
patches for mba_MBps[1] and applied them on top of all of this.
The process was pretty simple, most functions that were changed
just moved to fs/resctrl. Just a few places where I needed to
tweak things to fit on top of the changes (like using the
new resctrl_arch_get_resource() to lookup rdt_resources
instead of indexing into the rdt_resources_all[] array,
of function names changed to add "_arch").

Overall it looks pretty good.
