We already know that "soft-ABMC" is coming and Peter already shared [1] that with software assignment it will not be possible to assign counters to individual events. The goal of this work is to create a generic interface and this is the documentation for it. If this documentation is created to be specific to the first implementation it will make it difficult to use this same interface to support other implementations.
