Re: [PATCH v5] x86/resctrl: Add event choices for mba_MBps

["Moger, Babu" <babu.moger@amd.com>]

Hi Tony,

You are intending to achieve two things at once here.
1. Adding new mount option
2. Changing behaviour for the current option.
I think you need to split this patch into two. Few comments below.

I am not sure why you need both these options. I feel you just need one of
these options.

Thanks
