Re: [PATCH v1 5/9] x86/resctrl: Call mon_event_count() directly for soft RMIDs

There is no point in using IPIs to call mon_event_count() when it is only reading software counters from memory.

When RMIDs are soft, mon_event_read() just calls mon_event_count() directly.

From this patch forward the patch ordering is a bit confusing. At this time mon_event_count() does not read software counters from memory so I think this change should move to later.

Also, note that rdt_mon_soft_rmid is introduced here but the reader is left wondering how it is set until the final patch in this series.
