According to my study, it seems possible to add A64FX's sector cache function
to resctrl. I heard you are working on resctrl rework for MPAM , 
but I cannot find related patches on ML archive. Therefore, 
I would like to know the status about MPAM support. 

(1) I think the first step is to support resctrl for ARM arch. 
   Have you finished the work of arm support and when will you release it? 
(2) When will you release MPAM patch?

Best regards
