Can we please avoid using the word "control group" to describe these? It's
extremely confusing for readers since it's exactly the same word as used for
actual cgroups, especially since those are also a form of "resource
control"...

Doesn't official documentation refer to them as "resource groups" to avoid
this?

Right, how abut changing change this description to:
control group  ->   resctrl allocation group
monitor group  ->   resctrl monitor group?

Yes, the Documentation/x86/resctrl_ui.rst described them as
"Resource Control feature", which is composed of allocation
and monitor, so distinguish them as above seems to be appropriate.

Thanks,
