> 3. Add RMID and CLOSID in resctrl interface when mounted with debug option.

> v4: Changes since v3
>     Addressed comments from Reinette and others.
>     Removed newline requirement when adding tasks.
>     Dropped one of the changes on flags. Kept the flag names mostly same.
>     Changed the names of closid and rmid to ctrl_hw_id and mon_hw_id
> respectively.
>     James had some concerns about adding these files. Addressed it by making

>     files x86 specific.
>     Tried to address Reinette's comment on patch 7. But due to current code

>     I could not do it exact way. But changed it little bit to make it easy debug
>     file additions in the future.
> 
> v3: Changes since v2
>     Still waiting for more comments. While waiting, addressed few comments
> from Fenghua.
>     Added few more texts in the documentation about multiple tasks assignment
> feature.
>     Added pid in last_cmd_status when applicable.
>     Introduced static resctrl_debug to save the debug option.
>     Few minor text changes.
> 
> v2: Changes since v1
>   a. Removed the changes to add the task's threads automatically. It required
>      book keeping to handle the failures and gets complicated. Removed that
> change
>      for now.
>   b. Added -o debug option to mount in debug mode(comment from Fenghua)
>   c. Added debug files rmid and closid. Stephane wanted to rename them more
>      generic to accommodate ARM. It kind of loses meaning if is renamed
> differently.
>      Kept it same for now. Will change if he feels strong about it.
