Cacheline wise this is suboptimal. You have to touch two cachelines on each
context switch (at least for read).

If you make that:

struct intel_pqr_state {
u32 default_cosid;
u32 default_rmid;
u32 cur_cosid;
u32 cur_rmid;
};

DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct intel_pqr_state, pqr_state);

then it's all together and you spare one cache line.

Thanks,
