Subject:  [PATCH v8 00/16] Allow AET to use PMT as loadable module

Requiring INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY=y to enable AET is a functional workaround
to enable enumeration of Application Energy Telemetry (AET) events, but
unacceptable to many users. It results in increased configration complexity,
increased kernel memory footprint and inability to patch problems by unloading
a module and loading an updated version.

Add a registration function to the AET code that can be used by
INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY to provide the enumeration functions.

INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY can be loaded/unloaded independently of
resctrl file system mount/unmount. Perform enumeration on
every mount and cleanup on every unmount.

Changes since v7:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260601195632.15876-1-tony.l...

Rebased to v7.1

Patches 1-4 updated from latest (v5) series from Reinette:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1781029125.git.reinette...
Those four patches had their own review and (hopefully) will be included
in TIP tree during this v7.2-rc* cycle.

Patch 5 is new to resolve the issue that the PMT driver could be unbound
from the pmt_telemtry module which would unmap all the MMIO register
space. Discussed offline with David Box, but needs his Ack/Review tag
here.

Patches 6-14 and 16 all have updates based on review comments see the
individual patches for change log after the "---"
