Prefetch control is supported on a lot of CPU models and all except Xeon
PHI have the same MSR layout. ATOMs do not support L2_ACL and DCU_IP,
but that's it. So there is absolutely nothing broadwell specific here.

Why do we need six explicit functions, which are pretty much copy and paste?

The only difference is the bit they operate on. It's just a matter of
proper wrapper structs.

	unsigned int		level;

	struct x86_pfctl_attr *xa = container_of(attr, struct x86_pfctl_attr, attr);
	int cpu = pfctl_dev_get_cpu(pfctl_dev);

	rdmsrl_on_cpu(cpu, MSR_MISC_FEATURE_CONTROL, &val);
	return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", val & xa->mask ? 0 : 1);

See? One show() and one store() function which operates directly at the
attribute level and supports all known variants of bits in the control
MSR. No magic global constants, no visible management, no hardcoded
type/level relations... Simple and straight forward.

All what the core code needs to do is to populate the attributes in the
sys/.../cache/index$N/ directories when level and type matches.

I'm pretty sure you can simplify the A64FX code in a very similar way.
