This does not reflect the fs and arch separation that this version highlights
since ABMC is not a resctrl feature.

This can get confusing and I think this interface is indeed for the
architecture where hardware features are enabled/disabled (highlighted
by how the parameter is connected to the X86_FEATURE_ flag) ... so
perhaps something like:

	Add the command line option to enable or disable exposing
	the ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware
	feature to resctrl.

Patch looks good to me.
