[PATCH V3 08/39] x86/intel_rdt: Introduce new "exclusive" mode

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Wed Apr 25 2018 - 14:28:09 EST


At the moment all allocations are shareable. There is no way for a user
to designate that an allocation associated with a resource group cannot be
shared by another.

Introduce the new mode "exclusive". When a resource group is marked as
such it implies that no overlap is allowed between its allocation and that
of another resource group.
