Needs imperative. "Only call the hook on the first mount ..."?
Although, to help with brevity, the last three sentences could be merged. For example:

	Add a hook for use by telemetry event enumeration and initialization and
	run it once at the beginning of resctrl mount without any locks held.
	Architecture is responsible for any required locking.
