The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the IA32_QM_CTR MSR while the first-generation MBM implementation uses statically defined 24 bit counters. The MBM CPUID enumeration properties have been expanded to include the MBM counter width, encoded as an offset from 24 bits. While eight bits are available for the counter width offset IA32_QM_CTR MSR only supports 62 bit counters. Add a sanity check, with warning printed when encountered, to ensure counters cannot exceed the 62 bit limit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
