I still don't see what the big difference is with singling out default.
Does it really matter - what advantage is there. Having a monitor for
'n' vcpus is a choice.

At this point memory bandwidth is not in play...

This is becoming increasing difficult to describe/decipher - makes me
wonder who would really use it.

Since all we get is the "cache_occupancy" that would seem to me to be
most important when there is a <cache> bank, right?  So what would the
first (or your default style) collect/display. Or does cache not really
matter.

IOW: What is cache_occupancy measuring? Each cache? The entire thing? If
there's no cache elements, then what?

I honestly think this just needs to be simplified as much as possible.
When you monitor specific vcpus within a cachetune, then you get what?
If the cachetune has no specific cache entries, you get what?  If you
monitor multiple vcpus within a cachetune then you get what? (?An
aggregation of all?).  This whole default and specific description
doesn't make sense.

This should be *ValidateVcpus.

The ->alloc check is confusing in light of having a monitor as a child
of cachetune.

I'm still not seeing the need for default... FWIW: The resctrl->alloc
check is unnecessary since the only way rv == 1 is if it's there.

So if @alloc == NULL (which is one of the reasons AllocIsEmpty is true)
means that we'll be virObjectRef(NULL) in ResctrlNew(). In this case
@alloc could be NULL if there were no <cache> entries, IIUC.

I'm starting to see a real downside to a resctrl->alloc == NULL. I
really don't want to continue to see churn on the internal hierarchy
though.

However, if I look at how it could be filled in within the context of
this function, the virDomainResctrlVcpuMatch call and subsequent
possible allocation of @alloc would seemingly be possible outside the
context of whether specific <cache> entries existed. Probably could just
do away with the term default allocation - all it seems to be is an
allocation without <cache> elements, but it can have <monitor> elements.
If someone places a <cachetune> without <cache> and without <monitor>,
so what - who cares. Probably doesn't do much other than limit other
<cachetune> (and perhaps <memorytune>) elements.

Moving the AllocIsEmpty check should be separate.

I'm losing steam, but the next couple of patches had Coverity issues, so
I figured I'll note that before going back to read all the comments
you've posted today while I was reviewing without trying to go back.
