I looked at patch 06 and I understand why incrementing sys_active_cnt has to be
done before enabling it.  If it wasn't so someone could update the feature
between the time setup_aux() is called and the event is installed on a CPU.  As
such cscfg_activate_config() should stay but I still think ->active_cnt should
go.
