No maintainers handling the code (so subsystem maintainers) are shown with scripts/get_maintainers.pl on MPAM drivers in drivers/resctrl/. It seems that there is no dedicated subsystem for resctrl and existing drivers went through ARM64 port maintainers, so make that explicit to avoid patches being lost/ignored.

I explained in the commit msg: "No maintainers handling the code (so subsystem maintainers)" It does not list the maintainers picking up patches, so if you use standard tools (like b4, patman or scripted get_maintainers), you will never appear on To/Cc list (relying on git-fallback is wrong). Of course maybe you will still get the patches with lei/korgalore, so up to you.
