Can you explain why you don't like the global? If there is a better name for it, or a better comment for what it does, or you think the code that sets the value could be clearer, then I'm happy to make changes there.
Which events are supported by a system is a static property. Figuring out once at "init" time which event to use for mba_MBps seems a better choice than re-checking for each of possibly hundreds of RMIDs every second. Even though the check is cheap, it is utterly pointless.
