Why, I think you were spot-on:

"And the two variables are ONLY used in resctrl monitoring
configuration. There is no need to store them in cpuinfo_x86 on each
CPU."

That was a real overkill to put them in cpuinfo_x86. The information
needed should simply be read out in rdt_get_mon_l3_config() and that's
it - no need to global values to store them.

Now removing them should be in a separate patch so that review is easy.

Or am I missing an aspect?
