Missing closing ")".

"when necessary"? Can you elaborate?
"Pass a CPU ..." that just describes code that can be learned from patch.
Please describe the changes not the code.

Passing CPU as parameter to __rmid_read(), which is run via IPI, really
obfuscates the code. How about renaming it to "__rmid_read_phys()"
and provide it the "physical RMID" as parameter to make it clear what it is
doing?
That would mean an extra call to determine "physical RMID" before calling
__rmid_read_phys() but making it clear that it needs a physical RMID should
help to explain what is going on.

The various new layers of indirection with SNC logic scattered between them
makes this change hard to understand.

This is not architecture specific code.

The cpu parameter can be dropped, no? With the domain provided to resctrl_arch_rmid_read_one()
it is not necessary to again split the SNC logic (in this case the "reading from any CPU
in the cache domain is ok but still need accurate arch state") across multiple layers,
just contain this in (documented portion of) resctrl_arch_rmid_read_one().
