SubjectRE: [PATCH V4 0/7] x86/intel_rdt: Intel Cache Allocation Technology

The problems of development at the bleeding edge. Would you rather Linux
sat on the sidelines until there are enough Google hits from other users of
new features?

I did get one hit for a search for: intel "resource director technology" ... but
it only has one line in a table with a 50,000' view of what it does.

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/guides/xeon-intel-server-processor-comparison-guide.pdf

Technology: Intel Resource Director Technology

Description: Allows the hypervisor to monitor Last Level Cache usage at the application
and VM levels.

Benefit: Helps to improve performance and efficiency by providing better
information for scheduling, load balancing, and workload migration

Which isn't any help in evaluating this patch series :-(

-Tony
