+ * Using a dynamic percpu 'int' variable has a cost :
+ * 1) Extra dereference
+ * Current per_cpu_ptr() implementation uses an array per 'percpu variable'.
+ * 2) memory cost of NR_CPUS*(32+sizeof(void *)) instead of num_possible_cpus()*4
+ *
+ * This pcounter implementation is an abstraction to be able to use
+ * either a static or a dynamic per cpu variable.
+ * One dynamic per cpu variable gets a fast & cheap implementation, we can
+ * change pcounter implementation too.
