Now x86 platform defaults to all monitoring features on the L3 cache, but some monitoring features may also be on the L2 cache or memory controller according to the MPAM spec. For example, the memory bandwidth monitors could be on the memory controller.

Will resctrl_mon_resource_init() consider this scenario?
