[PATCH v6 01/18] x86/cpufeatures: Support Privilege Level Zero Association (PLZA)

[Babu Moger]

When memory bandwidth associated with a CLOSID is aggressively throttled,
and a task with that CLOSID moves into kernel mode, the kernel operations
are also aggressively throttled. This can stall forward progress and
eventually degrade overall system performance.

AMD hardware supports a feature Privilege Level Zero Association (PLZA),
which allows the CPU's CLOSID and/or RMID association to be changed during
the transition from user mode to kernel mode. This allows the kernel to run
using a different CLOSID and/or RMID than user space, which can improve
system performance and/or allow kernel work to be monitored separately.

Note that PLZA feature associates CLOSID and/or RMID to kernel work, and
therefore influences resource allocation and/or monitoring for all
resources, not only memory bandwidth.

The feature is detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 [Bit 9]: Privilege
Level Zero Association (PLZA).

The PLZA feature details are documented in [1] available from [2].

v6: Highlight that CLOSID/RMID association affects all resources,
    not just memory bandwidth.

v5: Added Acked-by from Boris.
    Updated the changelog to include cache allocation and monitoring.
    Moved the Link tag last.
    Updated subject line for cpufeatures.

v4: Split the patch into 2. This patch only handles x86 changes.
    Re-wrote the changelog along the ABMC changes.

v3: Code did not change. Patch order changed.
    Added documentation link.

v2: Rebased on top of the latest tip.
