> From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>
>
> Some systems support per-thread Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) which
> applies a throttling delay value to each hardware thread instead of to
> a core. Per-thread MBA is enumerated by CPUID.
>
> No feature flag is shown in /proc/cpuinfo. User applications need to
> check a resctrl throttling mode info file to know if the feature is
> supported.
