If we can cope with this sort of statistics collection in the networking
fast path we can probably cope with it for SPI too, the immediate
recording is all per CPU so I'd like to see some numbers showing that
it's a problem before worrying about it too much.  Even the people doing
things like saturating CAN buses haven't been raising it as a concern
for the regular SPI data path.  We could add a Kconfig if it's an issue.
