Thank you very much. I squashed this locally.

This PoC also converts existing cache allocation to use a (one entry) list
of controls. The current idea is that whether CDP is enabled or not there is
just one list of controls associated with the resource but when CDP is enabled
every domain associated with every control can accommodate both a "CODE" and
"DATA" control value.

For cache controls this PoC indeed still has many assumptions about there
being only one cache control. Even with the single control there are many
CDP special cases so there may be some unexplored corners when adding multiple
cache controls.
