Sure ... what does it need to convey?
I'm not sure what you mean by "expected to be form x86 RMID entry".

My medium verbosity version looks like this:
| /*
| * Some architectures's resctrl_arch_rmid_read() needs the CLOSID value
| * in order to access the correct monitor. This field provides the
| * value to list walkers like __check_limbo(). On x86 this is ignored.
| */


Does this cover it?


Thanks,

James
