Sure. I can test QOS_L3_OCCUP_EVENT_ID instead of cpuinfo_x86.

When this function is called, X86_FEATURE_CQM_LLC must be supported and
one of X86_FEATURE_CQM_OCCUP_LLC, X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_LOCAL, and
X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_TOTAL must be supported. Otherwise,
get_rdt_mon_resource() is returned before calling rdt_get_mon_l3_config().

So CPUID.f.0 and CPUID.f.1 must be readable and return meaningful
data without testing the features.

But the problem is it's unknown which ones of X86_FEATURE_CQM_OCCUP_LLC,
X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_LOCAL, and X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_TOTAL are supported.

So after reading CPUID.f.1, test X86_FEATURE_CQM_OCCUP_LLC in order to
override r->num_rmid from ecx. And test X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_TOTAL or
X86_FEATURE_CQM_MBM_LOCAL in order to get r>mon_scale from ebx.

Is this sequence OK? If the current sequence is OK, I only need to
change code to test the QOS_L3_*_EVENT_ID, right?
