for one counter problem the same.

This test on other hardware:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5335 @ 2.00GHz (2004.98-MHz K8-class CPU)
hwpmc: TSC/1/64/0x20<REA> IAP/2/40/0x3ff<INT,USR,SYS,EDG,THR,REA,WRI,INV,QUA,PRC> IAF/3/40/0x61<INT,REA,WRI>

Counter for DTLB_MISSES.ANY should overflow at 2^40 - 1
But again I see overflow near 2^31

# pmcstat -C -w1 -d -p DTLB_MISSES.ANY -o pmc.log -t 10924
