The Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) test iterates through all possible
MBA allocations, from 10% (ALLOCATION_MIN) to 100% (ALLOCATION_MAX) with
increments of 10% (ALLOCATION_STEP) at each iteration. During each
iteration the test measures the actual memory bandwidth NUM_OF_RUNS times
to determine the impact of MBA on actual memory bandwidth.

After the MBA test completes all the memory bandwidth measurements are
parsed into an array. One array for resctrl Memory Bandwidth Monitoring
(MBM) measurements and one array for the Integrated Memory Controller
(iMC) measurements. Each array has a hardcoded size of 1024 that is
large enough to hold the current test data, but this hardcoded value makes
the implementation difficult to understand. It will not be clear that this
array needs to be reconsidered if any of the test parameters are changed.

Replace the magic constant as array size with the test parameters the
array size depends on.
