Continuing to use Core2 as an example platform:

  cycles,cycles,instructions,instructions

They all have weight 3, yet the masks are not the same, it'll assign
them like: pmc0, pmc1, fp-instructions, fail

Counter rotation will make sure the next attempt looks like:

  instructions,cycles,cycles,instructions

Which will work correctly since it'll do: pmc0, pmc1, fp-cycles,
fp-instructions.

Its usually not a really big deal, but I ran into it few months ago and
noticed it because the scaled values weren't what I was expecting them
to be, took me a while to figure out wth happened.
