Subject[PATCH v8 4/8] x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy
Date
resctrl uses RFTYPE flags for creating resctrl directory structure.

Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.

+ * --> info (Top level directory named "info". Contains files that
+ * | provide details on control and monitoring resources.)

+ * --> base (Root directory associated with default resource group
+ * as well as directories created by user for MON and CTRL
+ * groups. Contains files to interact with MON and CTRL
+ * groups.)
+ *
+ * Note: resctrl uses flags for files, not for directories.
+ * Directories are created based on the resource type. Added
+ * directories below for better understanding.
