Output is different from cover letter and what this patch implements.

This name is not ideal but I am having trouble finding a better one ... I have
seen you use "monitor mode" a couple of times (even in shortlog), so maybe that
could be the start of a more generic name? "mbm_mode"?

Why not always make this file available? At least it will display that
legacy mode is supported and it gives user space an always present file to query to
determine support.

Please use arch helper to just get abmc state instead of fs code
digging into arch structures.
