My mistake. I should have corrected it.  How about this?

"The ABMC feature implements an MSR L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG (C000_03FDh).
ABMC counter assignment is done by setting the counter id, bandwidth
source (RMID) and bandwidth configuration. Users will have the option to
change the bandwidth configuration using resctrl interface which will be
introduced later in the series."
