You are right about that. Although I can't think of a straightforward
way to handle this. Well, except for the obvious of adding another
global statistic.

Humm, I believe I can zero out this. Looking at the code again, this is
not imported to userspace. It is just used to activate the thresholds
and the delta of nr_page_events is a lot more important than nr_page_events.
