When MBA software controller is enabled, a per domain storage is required for user specified bandwidth in "MBps" and the "percentage" values which are programmed into the IA32_MBA_THRTL_MSR. Add support for these data structures and initialization. The MBA percentage values have a default max value of 100 but however the max value in MBps is not available from the hardware so it's set to U32_MAX. This simply says that the control group can use all bandwidth by default but does not say what is the actual max bandwidth available. The actual bandwidth that is available may depend on lot of factors like QPI link, number of memory channels, memory channel frequency, its width and memory speed, how many channels are configured and also if memory interleaving is enabled. So there is no way to determine the maximum at runtime reliably.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
