Please make this resctrl limit of '64' a define in linux/resctrl.h so the arch code knows
what the limit is!

MPAM platforms may have more than this - and really bad things happen if mbm_cntrs_init()
passes bitmap_fill() a value greater than 64.

Even better - could we dynamically allocate this bitmap using the size advertised by the
architecture code?


Thanks,

James
