Cache allocation patches(dependent on prep patches) adds a cgroup

Intel Xeon Intel processors. Cache Allocation is a sub-feature with in

control sharing of platform resources like L3 cache.
Just a few general observations:
1) The changelogs need some loving care.
2) I let it up to PeterZ to decide whether he wants to fold the
sched support into switch_to.
My prior answer to this was that
- since cache alloc sched support doesnt deal with the register state
(gen purpose, fpu , extended states ) did not want to bother the switch_to
code.
Also cache monitoring scheduling code falls in the finish_arch_switch.
let me know if anything otherwise ..
Thanks,
Vikas
Otherwise, I'm more or less content with the outcome of this patch
marathon. So for the whole pile:
