The kerneldoc in patch #9 introduces new requirements related to
struct rmid_read wrt how NULL values are interpreted and
used. This makes it essential that struct rmid_read is always initialized
correctly and should no longer consist of whatever is on the stack. I
mentioned in response to v19 that static checkers found issues here.
I understand that mbm_update() always sets the domain in
struct rmid_read, but I do not find it acceptable that it
passes garbage as the cacheinfo pointer based on subtle assumptions on
when/how __mon_event_count() uses this field.

Please split this line, it is over 100
