If this is required then could you please add a comment why every CPU in
the domain needs to be updated? Until now configuration changes
only needed to be made on one CPU per domain. 
Even in the previous patch when the user reads the current configuration
value it is only done on one CPU in the domain ... to me that implies
that the scope is per domain and only one CPU in the domain needs to be
changed.

This is a snippet that was copied from the hardware spec and since it is
inserted into the kernel driver the context makes it hard to understand.
Could it be translated into what it means in this context?
Perhaps something like:

	/*
	 * When an Event Configuration is changed, the bandwidth counters
	 * for all RMIDs and Events will be cleared by the hardware. The
         * hardware also sets MSR_IA32_QM_CTR.Unavailable (bit 62) for every
	 * RMID on the next read to any event for every RMID. Subsequent
	 * reads will have MSR_IA32_QM_CTR.Unavailable (bit 62) cleared
	 * while it is tracked by the hardware.
	 * Clear the mbm_local and mbm_total counts for all the RMIDs.
	 */

Please fixup where I got it wrong.
