"new domain structures" -> "a new domain structure"?
Looking back I made the wrong suggestion in v13. Since it was just taken verbatim do
you find it accurate to say there are multiple domain structures associated with
telemetry monitoring? This series only introduces struct rdt_perf_pkg_mon_domain though.

This patch is not expected to touch struct rdt_hw_ctrl_domain. Referring to it
as involved with monitoring is also wrong ...

... was that struct rdt_hw_ctrl_domain change intended to be here?
