This series fixes numerous issues in the resctrl selftests on aarch64,
where they currently misreport failures.
Patch 1 skips L3_CAT at feature-check time when MPAM legitimately
reports every CBM bit as shareable, instead of failing the test.
Patch 2 adds aarch64 implementations of cl_flush() and sb() in
fill_buf.c so cache flushes are no longer silent no-ops.
Patch 3 teaches detect_vendor() about aarch64 (which exposes no
vendor_id in /proc/cpuinfo) and lets arch_supports_noncont_cat()
return true for ARM, fixing spurious L3_NONCONT_CAT failures.
Changes since v2:
- Patch 1: add Ilpo's Reviewed-by.
- Patch 3: factor the aarch64 check into a detect_aarch64() helper
instead of an inline #ifdef in detect_vendor().
- Fix the patch ordering in this cover letter to match the series.
