[PATCH v6 25/42] x86/resctrl: Make prefetch_disable_bits belong to the arch code
Posted by James Morse 1 year ago
prefetch_disable_bits is set by rdtgroup_locksetup_enter() from a
value provided by the architecture, but is largely read by other
architecture helpers.

Make resctrl_arch_get_prefetch_disable_bits() set prefetch_disable_bits
so that it can be isolated to arch-code from where the other arch-code
helpers can use its cached-value.

Changes since v5:
 * Tweaked the word 'export'.
 * Swapped the second paragraph for Reinette's version.
