Subject: [PATCH v3 00/47] arm_mpam: Add KVM/arm64 and resctrl glue code

This new version of the mpam missing pieces has no major rework from the
previous version. It's mainly small corrections and code tidying based on
review and things I spotted along the way. To be able to merge this we need
review from more people and people to start testing on their platforms and
giving some Tested-by tags.

Change list in patches.

As mentioned in the cover letter for v2, one major departure from the
previous snapshot branches referenced in the base driver series is that the
same MPAM setting are used for kernel-space and user-space. There are pros
and cons of choosing this policy but I think it is the best thing to start
with as there are AMD plans for adding a resctrl feature to allow a
different closid/rmid configuration for user-space from kernel space. The
AMD feature is called PLZA and is mentioned in this lpc slide deck[1]. This
gives us a path forward to add support for having the EL1 and EL0 MPAM
partid/pmg configuration differ from each other.

>From James' cover letter:

This is the missing piece to make MPAM usable resctrl in user-space. This has
shed its debugfs code and the read/write 'event configuration' for the monitors
to make the series smaller.

This adds the arch code and KVM support first. I anticipate the whole thing
going via arm64, but if goes via tip instead, the an immutable branch with those
patches should be easy to do.

Generally the resctrl glue code works by picking what MPAM features it can expose
from the MPAM drive, then configuring the structs that back the resctrl helpers.
If your platform is sufficiently Xeon shaped, you should be able to get L2/L3 CPOR
bitmaps exposed via resctrl. CSU counters work if they are on/after the L3. MBWU
counters are considerably more hairy, and depend on hueristics around the topology,
and a bunch of stuff trying to emulate ABMC.
If it didn't pick what you wanted it to, please share the debug messages produced
when enabling dynamic debug and booting with:
| dyndbg="file mpam_resctrl.c +pl"

I've not found a platform that can test all the behaviours around the monitors,
so this is where I'd expect the most bugs.

The MPAM spec that describes all the system and MMIO registers can be found here:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0598/db/?lang=en
(Ignored the 'RETIRED' warning - that is just arm moving the documentation around.
 This document has the best overview)
