Hi, Thomas, Babu, and James,

Can we use "resctrl" to replace "intel_rdt" and "rdt" in kernel? "resctrl"
is a neutral name and has been used in user interface already. Hopefully
"resctrl" can be acceptable by ARM, AMD, and Intel. We only use "intel_rdt",
"amd_qos", or "arm mpam" for vendor specific code.

Can we move all of Intel RDT, AMD QoS, and ARM MPAM code into a generic
place fs/resctrl where both ARM and X86 code can stay?
 
Thanks.
