Yeah, basically whenever we enter blk-throtl. Factored to a function,
calling it on entry should be fairly clean, right? I wonder whether it'd be
better to consolidate all atomic counter handling in a single location and
all it does is transferring whatever's accumulated to the usual counters.
Also, when you're reading & resetting the atomic counters, can you use a
pattern like the following?

  main_counter += atomic_xchg(counter, 0);

Right now, there's a race window between reading and resetting.

Thanks.
