Split into three parts. I couln't quite see how to get to four.

This is gone in V6. It's become part of an "enum" for each of the scope
options.

This header provides the defintion of struct x86_cpu_id.

Added header comment for this function describing the MSR
and the function.

Resctrl initialization is kicked off as a late_initcall(). So all CPUs
and devices are fully initialized before this code runs.

Resctrl can't be moved to an "init" state before CPUs are brought online
because it makes a call to cpuhp_setup_state() to get callbacks for
online/offline CPU events ... that call can't be done early.

Not needed to disable pre-emption - because it is already disabled ...
call sequence to get to here comes through smp_call_function_single()
which does it's own get_cpu()). Will change this code to use
smp_processor_id()
