[Xen-devel] [RFC v2 00/12] Enable Memory Bandwidth Allocation in Xen

[Yi Sun <yi.y.sun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all,

We plan to bring a new PSR (Platform Shared Resource) feature called
Intel Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) to Xen.

Besides the MBA enabling, we change some interfaces to make them more
general but not only for CAT.

The implementation bases on below patch set which is being reviewed.
[PATCH v14 00/23] Enable L2 Cache Allocation Technology & Refactor psr.c
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-07/msg01379.html

MBA patch set targets Xen 4.10. But the base of it, L2 CAT patch set,
has not been merged yet. So, we have to send out the RFC version out
and hope to get your feedback firstly to accelerate MBA patch set
review process.

Any comments are welcome!

You can find this patch set at:
https://github.com/yisun-git/xen_mba mba_rfc_v2

Changes:
    Rebase MBA patches onto L2 CAT v14 which has many changes since v4.
    L2 CAT v4 is the base of MBA RFC v1.
