resctrl is the defacto Linux ABI for SoC resource partitioning features.
To support it on another architecture, it needs to be abstracted from
the features provided by Intel RDT and AMD PQoS, and moved to /fs/.
Split struct rdt_domain up too. Move everything that that is particular
to resctrl into a new header file. resctrl code paths touching a 'hw'
struct indicates where an abstraction is needed.
Splitting this structure only moves types around, and should not lead
to any change in behaviour.

Similar to previous patch it would help to explain how this split was
chosen. For example, why are the CPUs to which a resource is associated
not considered a hardware property?
Thank you

Similarly, because the meaning of those CPUs doesn't differ or change between architectures.
I've expanded the middle paragraph in the commit message to explain why the arch specific
things are arch specific:
| Continue by splitting struct rdt_domain, into an architecture private
| 'hw' struct, which contains the common resctrl structure that would be
| used by any architecture.
|
| The hardware values in ctrl_val and mbps_val need to be accessed via
| helpers to allow another architecture to convert these into a different
| format if necessary.
|
| After this split, filesystem code code paths touching a 'hw' struct
| indicates where an abstraction is needed.
and similarly changed the kernel doc comment.
Let me know if you prefer some other struct name.
Thanks,
James

Got it. This seems to be a repeat of the discussion about patch 1.
Please note that the description of rdt_hw_domain in this patch reads
"hw attributes of a group of CPUs that share a resource". This can be
understood to mean that the struct contains attributes discovered from
hardware.

Thank you. I assume this includes changing the "hw attributes of a group
of CPUs that share a resource" I mention above.

I am ok with current naming. Other folks may have better ideas.
Thank you
