The use of CPU ops here avoids the offset calculations that we used to have
to do with per cpu ops. The result of this patch is that event counters are
coded with a single instruction the following way:

incq   %gs:offset(%rip)

Without these patches this was:

mov    %gs:0x8,%rdx
mov    %eax,0x38(%rsp)
mov    xxx(%rip),%eax
mov    %eax,0x48(%rsp)
mov    varoffset,%rax
incq   0x110(%rax,%rdx,1)
