x86/intel_rdt: Pseudo-lock region creation/removal core
The user requests a pseudo-locked region by providing a schemata to a resource group that is in the pseudo-locksetup mode. This is the functionality that consumes the parsed user data and creates the pseudo-locked region. First, required information is deduced from user provided data. This includes, how much memory does the requested bitmask represent, which CPU the requested region is associated with, and what is the cache line size of that cache (to learn the stride needed for locking). Second, a contiguous block of memory matching the requested bitmask is allocated. Finally, pseudo-locking is performed. The resource group already has the allocation that reflects the requested bitmask. With this class of service active and interference minimized, the allocated memory is loaded into the cache.
