Add a kernel command-line parameter to enable or disable the exposure of
the PLZA (Privilege Level Zero Association) feature to resctrl.

This allows administrators to control PLZA visibility at boot time via the
rdt= option (e.g. rdt=plza or rdt=!plza).

Resctrl exposes PLZA by default without requiring any explicit rdt= option
if supported. The rdt=!plza parameter can be used to disable PLZA exposure
to resctrl, while rdt=plza explicitly enables it.

There is a lot of repetition. How about something like:

Add "plza" to the rdt= command-line parameter so PLZA exposure to resctrl
can be enabled or disabled at boot. PLZA is exposed by default when
supported; rdt=!plza suppresses it.

Patch looks good.


Thanks
Babu
