So, this allows you to specify both simulation and disabling at the same
time, and in the same option?  That seems a bit screwy, plus it requires
some parsing which is quite prone to being broken.  How about just
having two setup options:

__setup("resctrl=simulate_cat_l3", rdt_setup...);
__setup("resctrl=disable_cat_l3", rdt_setup...);

And allow folks to specify "resctrl" more than once instead of requiring
the comma-separated arguments?  Then you don't have to do any parsing at
all and your __setup() handlers become one-liners.

Is "resctrl" really the best name for this sucker?  Wouldn't
"intel-rdt=" or something be nicer?

Also, a lot of __setup() functions actually clear cpuid bits.  Should
this be clearing X86_FEATURE_CAT_L3 instead of keeping a boolean around
that effectively overrides it?

#include <asm/intel-family.h> and s/0x3f/INTEL_FAM6_HASWELL_X/, please.
 Then your comment even go away.
