I think these lengths are wrong for ACPI extended PCC shared memory.

Length should be command + payload, and should not include the payload 
offset within the PCC shared memory region.

I think this should be something like

#define MPAM_VERSION_MSG_SIZE  sizeof(u32)
#define MPAM_READ_MSG_SIZE     (sizeof(u32) + 3 * sizeof(u32))
#define MPAM_WRITE_MSG_SIZE    (sizeof(u32) + 4 * sizeof(u32))

Here the flags are always 0.

If the PCCT advertises interrupt based completion, I think we need to 
set PCC_CMD_COMPLETION_NOTIFY here. Otherwise the platform can process 
the request without generating an interrupt back to the AP, and the PCC 
driver will time out waiting for completion.

MPAM-Fb token is a 10-bit field in the message header, so this needs to 
be masked before using it. Otherwise once the token exceeds 1023, the 
platform returns the wrapped 10-bit token but Linux compares it against 
the original value and will probably time out.

May be something like:

unsigned int token = atomic_inc_return(&mpam_fb_token) & 
FIELD_MAX(MPAM_MSC_TOKEN_MASK);
