Indeed, there is more :)

This came from 1748376b6626acf59c24e9592ac67b3fe2a0e026 which also
has the same bug (although this particular trace is bogus and is
fixed by Peter's first patch).

I think these are the only two percpu counter patches around that
time frame.

Also watch out for 6976a1d6c222c50ac93d2273b9cf57e6fd047e59 when
reverting.

Cheers,
