With the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel cycle Intel is further building out their Platform Monitoring Technology(PMT) capabilities with the introduction of a new discovery driver. The TPMI driver copies its platform info into this common area (via intel_vsec_set_mapping()), allowing other VSEC features to access CPU mapping information without redundant queries. They enable a unified interface for accessing hardware telemetry capabilities and ensure that inter-driver dependencies are properly managed through device links."
