Ok, indeed - you can define it to 0 for now - FRV wont set hw 
counters so it doesnt matter. It is used for the hw index in the 
mmap head for 'direct' access to the PMU, using special instructions 
like RDPMC (on x86). Probably not relevant to FRV.

You can use the power of the Git space:

   git log -SPERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET
