Well we don't need strictly anything since it is a debug/devel feat, it
just seemed handy to have a way to just reset one of the counters you are
actively working on, if you think about a testing or live devel
scenario...but it is not really needed and I have no strong opinion
about this...it was just a nice to have I asked Luke to add last minute...

...patch 5 indeed already adds also a global WO reset, beside switching all
the above counters to RW...it is just a matter to drop those RO->RW perms
changes in patch 5.

Thanks,
Cristian
