The configuration values user-space provides to the resctrl filesystem are ABI. To make this work on another architecture, all the ABI bits should be moved out of /arch/x86 and under /fs. To do this, the differences between AMD and Intel CPUs needs to be explained to resctrl via resource properties, instead of function pointers that let the arch code accept subtly different values on different platforms/architectures. For MBA, Intel CPUs reject configuration attempts for non-linear resources, whereas AMD ignore this field as its MBA resource is never linear. To merge the parse/validate functions, this difference needs to be explained. Add struct rdt_membw::arch_needs_linear to indicate the arch code needs the linear property to be true to configure this resource. AMD can set this and delay_linear to false. Intel can set arch_needs_linear to true to keep the existing "No support for non-linear MB domains" error message for affected platforms.

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.
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.
