If I understand correctly, for region-aware RDT, the legacy MB control may
be emulated collectively by region0_control, region1_control, ..., 
regionN_control.
In the original definition, MB represents the traffic that misses the L3 
cache and
is refilled from all sources, which could include DRAM (region0), CXL 
(region1),
and others.
