x86/cpufeatures: Add Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation feature flag

Browse source 
Add the new AMD feature X86_FEATURE_SMBA. With it, the QOS enforcement policies
can be applied to external slow memory connected to the host. QOS enforcement is
accomplished by assigning a Class Of Service (COS) to a processor and specifying
allocations or limits for that COS for each resource to be allocated.

This feature is identified by the CPUID function 0x8000_0020_EBX_x0[2]:
L3SBE - L3 external slow memory bandwidth enforcement.

CXL.memory is the only supported "slow" memory device. With SMBA, the hardware
enables bandwidth allocation on the slow memory devices.  If there are multiple
slow memory devices in the system, then the throttling logic groups all the slow
sources together and applies the limit on them as a whole.

The presence of the SMBA feature (with CXL.memory) is independent of whether
slow memory device is actually present in the system. If there is no slow memory
in the system, then setting a SMBA limit will have no impact on the performance
of the system.

Presence of CXL memory can be identified by the numactl command:

  $numactl -H
  available: 2 nodes (0-1)
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
  node 0 size: 63678 MB node 0 free: 59542 MB
  node 1 cpus:
  node 1 size: 16122 MB
  node 1 free: 15627 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   1
     0:  10  50
     1:  50  10

CPU list for CXL memory will be empty. The cpu-cxl node distance is greater than
cpu-to-cpu distances. Node 1 has the CXL memory in this case. CXL memory can
also be identified using ACPI SRAT table and memory maps.

Feature description is available in the specification, "AMD64 Technology
Platform Quality of Service Extensions, Revision: 1.03 Publication # 56375
