A few general comments inline.

If these are an architectural limitation rather than a qemu one good
to have a reference. If it's an RDT requirement namespace them with
RDT_*

I'd add some docs for this and RDTState to make it obvious
what the scope of each is.  What do they represent and how
is it different?
This seems like it might be the per core part.  If so can
you name it to make that obvious?  RDTPerCoreState or
something like that?

Whilst naming makes it likely I'd add a comment to say this
an array of RDTStateInstance with (I think) one per core?
