Borislav: Sorry about that and thank you very much for catching this
omission. Yes, this patch needs to go to stable.

James: would you be able to do the backports to stable? Please note that
support for L2 and L3 CDP was added across Linux versions and the
resctrl files moved around since then so the backport would need some
changes to address this issue in all versions.
