I find the naming a bit confusing (tpi/tsch are I/O instructions, too)
-- call this instruction_io_other?

The stsch and chsc counters are dead (probably have been for quite some

If your goal is to catch all instructions, shouldn't you add a counter
for diagnose functions that don't have a kernel handler as well?

I've never used the counters much, but that change looks fine in
general.
