Re: [PATCH v4 16/19] x86/resctrl: Enable ABMC by default on resctrl mount

Why enable/disable it on every mount/unmount cycle though? Why not just
enable it at the beginning and only change if requested by user?

resctrl fs should not be peeking in arch structure

This function needs a comment about why it is ok to return with error and
partial changes.

nessaccery -> necessary

Please elaborate why it is not necessary to fail.

How will user know that there is a warning? This does not return an error
so nothing will prompt user to check the status file. Perhaps add a comment
in the docs to help users at least know that this exists. Another helpful
thing will be to have the counter return "Unassigned" if it has not been assigned
since users familiar with old interface may see "Unavailable" without
knowing that user action is required to get a working event.

Fix copy&paste here and below.
