I think your addition [1] to the resctrl documentation explains
well how user space can determine which parts of BMEC are available:

		If the system supports Bandwidth Monitoring Event
		Configuration (BMEC), then the bandwidth events will
		be configurable. The output will be::

			# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mon_features
			llc_occupancy
			mbm_total_bytes
			mbm_total_bytes_config
			mbm_local_bytes
			mbm_local_bytes_config
