x86/cpufeatures: Add support for L3 Smart Data Cache Injection Allocation Enforcement
Smart Data Cache Injection (SDCI) is a mechanism that enables direct insertion
of data from I/O devices into the L3 cache. By directly caching data from I/O
devices rather than first storing the I/O data in DRAM, SDCI reduces demands on
DRAM bandwidth and reduces latency to the processor consuming the I/O data.
The SDCIAE (SDCI Allocation Enforcement) PQE feature allows system software to
control the portion of the L3 cache used for SDCI.
When enabled, SDCIAE forces all SDCI lines to be placed into the L3 cache
partitions identified by the highest-supported L3_MASK_n register, where n is
the maximum supported CLOSID.
Add CPUID feature bit that can be used to configure SDCIAE.
The SDCIAE feature details are documented in:
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming
Publication # 24593 Revision 3.41 section 19.4.7 L3 Smart Data Cache
Injection Allocation Enforcement (SDCIAE).
