mainlining shenanigans

Hardware uses RMID(Resource monitoring ID) to keep track of each of the RDT events associated with tasks. The number of RMIDs is dependent on the SKU and is enumerated via CPUID. We add support to manage the RMIDs which include managing the RMID allocation and reading LLC occupancy for an RMID. RMID allocation is managed by keeping a free list which is initialized to all available RMIDs except for RMID 0 which is always reserved for root group. RMIDs goto a limbo list once they are freed since the RMIDs are still tagged to cache lines of the tasks which were using them - thereby still having some occupancy. They continue to be in limbo list until the occupancy < threshold_occupancy. The threshold_occupancy is a user configurable value. OS uses IA32_QM_CTR MSR to read the occupancy associated with an RMID after programming the IA32_EVENTSEL MSR with the RMID.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
