Yes. Much better name.

I think they are "can't happen". Dropping the "_once" would provide a
more complete picture if they actually do happen.

Also don't expect a mix of usable/unusable regions. But if it does
happen, then check all the regions. So I'm leaving this as-is.

Subject: [PATCH 20/31] x86/resctrl: Find and enable usable telemetry events
The INTEL_PMT driver provides telemetry region structures of the
types requested by resctrl.
Scan these structures to discover which pass sanity checks:
1) They have guid known to resctrl.
2) They have a valid package ID.
3) The enumerated size of the MMIO region matches the expected
value from the XML description file.
4) At least one region passes the above checks.
Enable the active events in resctrl filesystem to make them available to
user space. Pass a pointer to the pmt_event structure of the event within
the struct event_group that resctrl stores in mon_evt::arch_priv. resctrl
passes this pointer back when asking to read the event data which enables
the data to be found in MMIO.
