    perf/x86/mbm: Add Intel Memory B/W Monitoring enumeration and init

    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397880

    The MBM init patch enumerates the Intel MBM (Memory b/w monitoring)
    and initializes the perf events and datastructures for monitoring the
    memory b/w.

    Its based on original patch series by Tony Luck and Kanaka Juvva.

    Memory bandwidth monitoring (MBM) provides OS/VMM a way to monitor
    bandwidth from one level of cache to another. The current patches
    support L3 external bandwidth monitoring. It supports both 'local
    bandwidth' and 'total bandwidth' monitoring for the socket. Local
    bandwidth measures the amount of data sent through the memory controller
    on the socket and total b/w measures the total system bandwidth.

    Extending the cache quality of service monitoring (CQM) we add two
    more events to the perf infrastructure:

      intel_cqm_llc/local_bytes - bytes sent through local socket memory 
controller
      intel_cqm_llc/total_bytes - total L3 external bytes sent

    The tasks are associated with a Resouce Monitoring ID (RMID) just like
    in CQM and OS uses a MSR write to indicate the RMID of the task during
    scheduling.
