Yes that should not be a problem. We can add those easily if needed.

Ok had thought about it but was hesitant to do because that makes
percpu_counters to work directly on cputime_t type. But I guess that is fine.

Not a problem as percpu_counter handles hotplug events as you noted
in the other thread.

Ok, I can change them if you don't like out* labels :)
