This does seem a worthy target.
I started on a patch to so this ... but I'm not sure I have the stamina or the time
to see it through.
I split struct rdt_domain into rdt_ctrl_domain and rdt_mon_domain. But that
led to also splitting the rdt_hw_domain structure into two, and then splitting
the resctrl_to_arch_dom() function, and then another and another.
That process will eventually converge (there are a finite number of lines
of code) .... but it will be a big patch. I don't see how to stage it a piece
at a time.
