x86, amd: Support L3 Cache Partitioning on AMD family 0x15 CPUs
L3 Cache Partitioning allows selecting which of the 4 L3 subcaches can be used for evictions by the L2 cache of each compute unit. By writing a 4-bit hexadecimal mask into the the sysfs file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/index3/subcaches, the user can set the enabled subcaches for a CPU. The settings are directly read from and written to the hardware, so there is no way to have contradicting settings for two CPUs belonging to the same compute unit. Writing will always overwrite any previous setting for a compute unit.
