These counters are for the MIPS 24K.  Other counters exist on other
MIPS processors, so I'd think that you'd want to have at least the
name be something less generic.  I hate to complain about the name,
but I know that the Octeon counters are on the roadmap for some work
that is likely going to happen.  Plus I think Randal was making noises
that he or one of the RMI guys was going to do something similar for
the XLR CPU.
