Hi Babu,

Introduce interface to switch between ABMC and legacy modes.

By default ABMC is enabled on boot if the feature is available.
Provide the interface to go back to legacy mode if required.

$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
[abmc]
legacy

To enable the legacy monitoring feature:
$ echo "legacy" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode

v4: Minor commit text changes. Keep the default to ABMC when supported.
     Fixed comments to reflect changed interface "mbm_mode".

v3: New patch to address the review comments from upstream.

Needs details on what user can expect to happen to counters/data when
switching between modes.
