An interface can also be a function. To help make this work obvious
it can be specific:

Create 'num_mbm_cntrs' resctrl file that displays the number of
monitoring counters supported in each domain. 'num_mbm_cntrs'
is only visible to user space when the system supports
mbm_cntr_assign mode.

Missing RFTYPE_RES_CACHE?

seq_putc() can be used.
