x86/cpufeatures: Add support for Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC)

Users can create as many monitor groups as RMIDs supported by the hardware.
However, the bandwidth monitoring feature on AMD only guarantees that RMIDs
currently assigned to a processor will be tracked by hardware. The counters of
any other RMIDs which are no longer being tracked will be reset to zero.

The MBM event counters return "Unavailable" for the RMIDs that are not tracked
by hardware. So, there can be only limited number of groups that can give
guaranteed monitoring numbers. With ever changing configurations there is no
way to definitely know which of these groups are being tracked during
a particular time. Users do not have the option to monitor a group or set of
groups for a certain period of time without worrying about RMID being reset in
between.

The ABMC feature allows users to assign a hardware counter to an RMID, event
pair and monitor bandwidth usage as long as it is assigned. The hardware
continues to track the assigned counter until it is explicitly unassigned by
the user. There is no need to worry about counters being reset during this
period. Additionally, the user can specify the type of memory transactions
(e.g., reads, writes) for the counter to track.

Without ABMC enabled, monitoring will work in current mode without assignment
option.

The Linux resctrl subsystem provides an interface that allows monitoring of up
to two memory bandwidth events per group, selected from a combination of
available total and local events. When ABMC is enabled, two events will be
assigned to each group by default, in line with the current interface design.
Users will also have the option to configure which types of memory
transactions are counted by these events.

Due to the limited number of available counters (32), users may quickly
exhaust the available counters. If the system runs out of assignable ABMC
counters, the kernel will report an error. In such cases, users will need to
unassign one or more active counters to free up counters for new assignments.
resctrl will provide options to assign or unassign events through the
group-specific interface file.

The feature is detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 bit 5: ABMC (Assignable
Bandwidth Monitoring Counters).

The ABMC feature details are documented in APM [1] available from [2]. [1]
