Yes, i think this is missing because the interface was designed 
with only libvirt in mind: the "reserved" field returns the amount of 
cache reserved only by VMs.

So if there is another application on the same L3 socket 
with a cache reservation, "reserved" fails to report it. 

Eli can you expose the amount of free allocatable cache space
(where non-free includes space used by other reservations) in a
'free_space' field in the cache output of virConnectGetCapabilities?
