James,

I looked at going to a full loadable module approach for about 3 seconds,
and found none of the kernfs support functions are exported. So I also
put that on the eternal-todo-list :-)

There are possibly a few other functions that need exporting like
get_cpu_cacheinfo(), and two or three others from the "perf"
code for pseudo-lock debugfs support.

P.S. Latest version of my re-write is at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux.git/log/?h=resctrl2_v65rc7

Well, almost latest. I haven't pushed the changes to auto-load all the
modules for basic X86 functions based on X86_FEATURE_* bits.
