Haven't looked in detail at the code yet, but I'm not necessarily sure `llvm-mca` is the best place for this. For validating/updating scheduling models, we already have `llvm-exegesis`, where this would be a more natural fit.

As a side note, I don't often have much confidence in manufacturer-provided scheduling information. It could be that ARM's information is much better than what we get from AMD/Intel, but on X86/RISCV so far, using `llvm-exegesis` with benchmarks to validate scheduling information has been more effective than trying to construct scheduling models from manufacturer reference documentation.
