> What other purposes do you see the performance counters useful for?
Export one to user space as a cycle counter for benchmarking. RDTSC doesn't
do this job anymore.

That might happen at some point in the future, but i would expect
us to wait for CPUs with more performance counters first.

Yes. That needs to be fixed.
