struct x86_cpu_id is defined in this #include file.

I try to put a subsystem prefix on any global symbols to avoid random
conflicts in other parts of the kernel. But I'm less sure of the value for
static functions and variables that are only visible inside a single ".c"
file.
If it must have a prefix, should it be "intel_" rather than "resctrl_" to
indicate that it is an Intel specific function?

Same answer.
Reinette: Any opinions on these?
