Something is missing from your description here. If you are not
clearing bit[20] and
not setting bit[43], then how does running on CTL2 by itself improve
the count. Is that
enough to make the counter count correctly?

For sampling events, your patch makes CTL2 not available. That seems
to contradict the
workaround. Are you doing this to free CTL2 for counting mode events
instead? If you are
not using CTL2, then you are not correcting the count. Are you saying
this is okay in sampling mode
because of the skid, anyway?
