My thought process on using counting instead of boolean was: there can be
several PFs that use the same driver, so therefore we need to keep track of how
many od them use hints. And yes, this also looks better for hot-swapping,
because conditions become more straightforward (we do not need to compare old
and new programs).

I have thought "unlikely" refers to the default state the code is compiled with
and after static key incrementation this should be patched to "likely". Isn't
this how static keys work?
