(nit: Please let this sentence as well as the later comment end with period.)

An error here means that the hardware does not have data available to return. Should
the unavailability of data for one domain be considered an error for all? Note how
this is handled in mon_event_count() where the error is discarded if any of the monitor
event reads succeeded ... should this be done here also?
