I like the initiative here. It is always good to have a single code base.

One question. I see that there is a tool at
https://github.com/intel/intel-cmt-cat to test and verify the
functionality of resctrl feature. I also see some of the distros have this
tool already. Is this tool going to replace intel-cmt-cat? I have not
looked at the patches closely yet.
