Please provide summary in comments about what these globals are and how they
are used.

I am a bit confused here. The configuration registers are introduced in patch #10
and if I counted right there are 5 bits for the counter id. It thus seems to me
as though there needs to be some checking during enumeration time to ensure
that all counters enumerated can be configured.

Please use bitmap API. For example, bitmap_fill()

(At this point it is unclear when resctrl_abmc_setup() is called to understand
if reset of bitmap may be appropriate. Please do expand all changelogs to help
readers along with how this implementation is intended to work.)
