Nah, that's not nitpicking - it is important that we sort out stuff
fully before committing.

Now, I'm trying to understand what you're telling me and I believe you
mean what update_domains() does, yes?

And I guess a more fitting subject in that case could be:

  x86/intel_rdt: Ensure a CPU remains online for the region's pseudo-locking sequence

or so, and then the commit message explains in more detail what that
title actually means. :)

Hmmm.
