nit.

Seems "255" is an ad-hoc value which won't be used for memory type?
The "class_id" in mpam_ris_create() is confused: it may be level for 
cache or it may be 255 for memory.

To be clearer, maybe it's better to define and enum for class_id? 
Something like:
enum mpam_class_id {
	CLASS_ID_LEVEL_1 = 1,
	CLASS_ID_LEVEL_2,
	CLASS_ID_LEVEL_3,
	CLASS_ID_NOT_USED = 255  <--- for memory type
};

Thanks.
