This code tends to use the verb "get", something like "get_hw_rmid()"
could work.

You can use "if (WARN_ON(..))"

(please use "CPU" instead of "cpu" in comments and changelogs)

I do not see any impact to the (soft) RMIDs that can be assigned to monitor
groups, yet from what I understand a generic "RMID" is used as index to MBM state.
Is this correct? A hardware RMID and software RMID would thus share the
same MBM state. If this is correct I think we need to work on making
the boundaries between hard and soft RMID more clear.
