Bah. What's wrong with

bool *enable = arg;

wrmsrl(IA32_L3_QOS_CFG, *enable);

That does not have this cute type cast, right?

That's the last time I ask for consistent variable ordering politely:

cpumask_var_t cpu_mask;
struct rdt_domain *d;
int cpu;

So you skip the key enable, but the mount persists and the return value of
that function is not propagated.

See above and everywhere ....

What means 'reset CBMs to max value'? I know what it means as do you and a
few others. 3 month from now we all scratch our heads...

Why?

if (rdt_resources_all[RDT_RESOURCE_L3DATA].enabled) {

only executes that if the thing was enabled.
