Ran few tests on the series. Everything looks good.

Dear x86 maintainers,
Could you please consider this series for inclusion? It applies cleanly on top
of x86/cache with HEAD at
2566b5cd6a27 ("fs/resctrl: Fix UAF from worker threads when domains are removed")
Please note that this is the first instance of a series that touches resctrl fs, x86, and
Arm. Since this is a resctrl fs API change these patches should stay together. You will
find in Ben's message below that patch routing via tip is supported by Arm.
Thank you very much
Reinette

The patches should stay together so please could this all go via tip.
Changelogs in patches.
From cover letter of v3:
This is a new version of Dave Martin's patch [1] to delegate rounding of
bandwidth control user values to the arch code. As there is now more than one
architecture using resctrl, I split the original patch into two, a core resctrl
patch and an x86 patch, and added an MPAM patch. Please let me know if the patch
break down and ordering is sensible and whether the pattern should be followed
for any future similar changes.
This does have a user visible effect on MB schema when using MPAM hardware
with 'bandwidth_gran' greater than 1. I'm not sure if MPAM hardware with such
coarse controls exists in the wild but it is spec compliant and I've tested it
on a model.
