[PATCH v8 00/13] enable Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) for VMs

[Chao Peng <chao.p.peng@linux.intel.com>]

Changes in v8:
Address comments from Jan, mainly:
* Remove total_cpus and retrofit the algorithm for calculating nr_sockets.
* Change per-socket cpumask allocation as on demand.
* Remove cat_socket_init_bitmap and rename cat_socket_enable_bitmap.
* Ensure opt_cos_max is not too small.
* Use the right notification for memory allocation/freeing.
Changes in v7:
Address comments from Jan/Ian, mainly:
* Introduce total_cpus to calculate nr_sockets.
* Clear the init/enable flag when a socket going offline.
* Reorder the statements in init_psr_cat.
* Copyback psr_cat_op only for XEN_SYSCTL_PSR_CAT_get_l3_info.
* Broadcast LIBXL_HAVE_SOCKET_BITMAP_ALLOC.
* Add PSR head1 level section and change CMT/CAT as its subsections for xl man page.
Changes in v6:
Address comments from Andrew/Dario/Ian, mainly:
* Introduce cat_socket_init(_enable)_bitmap.
* Merge xl psr-cmt/cat-hwinfo => xl psr-hwinfo.
* Add function header to explain the 'target' parameter.
* Use bitmap instead of TARGETS_ALL.
* Document fix.
Changes in v5:
* Address comments from Andrew and Ian(Detail in patch).
* Add socket_to_cpumask.
* Add xl psr-cmt/cat-hwinfo.
* Add some libxl CMT enhancement.
Changes in v4:
* Address comments from Andrew and Ian(Detail in patch).
* Split COS/CBM management patch into 4 small patches.
* Add documentation xl-psr.markdown.
Changes in v3:
* Address comments from Jan and Ian(Detail in patch).
* Add xl sample output in cover letter.
Changes in v2:
* Address comments from Konrad and Jan(Detail in patch):
* Make all cat unrelated changes into the preparation patches. 

This patch serial enables the new Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) feature
found in Intel Broadwell and later server platform. In Xen's implementation,
CAT is used to control cache allocation on VM basis.

Detail hardware spec can be found in section 17.15 of the Intel SDM [1].
The design for XEN can be found at [2].

patch1:     preparation.
patch2-8:   real work for CAT.
patch9-10: enhancement for CMT.
patch11:    libxl prepareation
patch12:    tools side work for CAT.
patch13:    xl document for CMT/MBM/CAT.
