The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural
definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the IA32_QM_CTR MSR,
and the first-generation MBM implementation uses 24 bit counters.
Software is required to poll at 1 second or faster to ensure that
data is retrieved before a counter rollover occurs more than once
under worst conditions.
As system bandwidths scale the software requirement is maintained with
the introduction of a per-resource enumerable MBM counter width.
In preparation for supporting hardware with an enumerable MBM counter
width the current globally static MBM counter width is moved to a
per-resource MBM counter width. Currently initialized to 24 always
to result in no functional change.
In essence there is one function, mbm_overflow_count() that needs to
know the counter width to handle rollovers. The static value
used within mbm_overflow_count() will be replaced with a value
discovered from the hardware. Support for learning the MBM counter
width from hardware is added in the change that follows.
