[PATCH 5/7] x86/intel_rdt: Software Cache for IA32_PQR_MSR

[Vikas Shivappa]

This patch implements a common software cache for IA32_PQR_MSR(RMID 0:9,
    CLOSId 32:63) to be used by both CMT and CAT. CMT updates the RMID
where as CAT updates the CLOSid in the software cache. When the new
RMID/CLOSid value is different from the cached values, IA32_PQR_MSR is
updated. Since the measured rdmsr latency for IA32_PQR_MSR is very
high(~250 cycles) this software cache is necessary to avoid reading the
MSR to compare the current CLOSid value.
