b5453a8ec3 Documentation: x86: Clarify MBA takes MB as referring to mba_sc
"If the MBA is specified in MB then user can enter the max b/w in MB"
is a tautology. How can the user know if the schemata takes a percentage
or a MB/s value?

This is referring to whether the software controller is interpreting
the schemata's value. Make this clear.

7c7a499582 Documentation: x86: Remove cdpl2 unspported statement and fix capitalisation
"L2 cache does not support code and data prioritization". This isn't
true, elsewhere the document says it can be enabled with the cdpl2
mount option.

While we're here, these sample strings have lower-case code/data,
which isn't how the kernel exports them.

eb8ed28f02 Documentation: x86: Contiguous cbm isn't all X86
Since commit 4d05bf71f1 ("x86/resctrl: Introduce AMD QOS feature")
resctrl has supported non-contiguous cache bit masks. The interface
for this is currently try-it-and-see.

Update the documentation to say Intel CPUs have this requirement,
instead of X86.
