I wonder if we shouldn't be moving over to use READ_ONCE for these
instead of volatile.
Probably doesn't really matter here. Maybe general audit of volatiles
in arch/powerpc could be something to put in linuxppc issues.

I don't think these really need to be in the paca.
paca is for per-cpu stuff that is accessed in real mode, early interrupt
entry, etc.

So you're just using the per-cpu values to cache the last value
read so next time you can take a delta.
Could you zero the counters before entry? Or just use local
variables to read the before values.
If you want to keep the same scheme, I think per-cpu variables
should work.
Otherwise,
