[PATCH V14 0/9] Intel cache allocation and Hot cpu handling changes to cqm, rapl

[Vikas Shivappa]

There was a push back from cgroup maintainer Tejun on cgroup interface
usage during the previous version of patches. This patch series splits
the prior V13 patches to separate the cqos framework parts which just
provide APis to manage the closid/cbm management, scheduling, hot cpu etc
and the cgroup interface parts into separate patches. Basically splits
into parts which dont have any major push back and are mostly reviewed
and the ones which have push back.

1/11 - 9/11 contain patches which has only the x86 cqos parts which 
have received a lot of feedback from
tglx and Peter and other x86 specific feedbacks. 
All the feedbacks are addressed in these patches.
These patches include some preparatory patches to improve the hot cpu
handling code in cqm and rapl like earlier versions.

10/11 - 11/11 has the cgroup interface patches.

*All patches will apply on 4.2*

Changes in V14:
 - separate patches for cache alloc kernel framework and cgroup
 interface
 - introduces a field closid in task_struct to keep track of the closid
 for the task in the framework patches (1/11 - 9/11). The closid field
 is removed by the cgroup interface patch as we already have a cgroups
 field in the task_struct which the cgroup interface just uses.
 - The documentation is also split into two - one for the cache alloc
 kernel implementation itself and one for cgroup interface.
