Is there any sensible documentation on this except the MSR listings?

What? That doesn't make any sense. The fact that we scheduled out and
then in again _is_ a full context switch no?

That SoB chain is buggered.

saves you a whole bunch of indentation, no?

Why are you writing back the value you read? Just to waste cycles?

Please use a named construct for that enable bit.

That looks wrong... the general point of update functions is to update
the count, the above does not in fact do that.

Either that EN bit is part of the bm_counter_conf, in which case you
didn't need to add it in _add(), or its not and you don't need to clear
it here. Make up your mind.

Except of course, that does not in fact update...

That is just a really ugly hack to work around:

this. And you didn't bother to mention that atrocity in your Changelog.
NAK.
