The basic mechanism counts EXCP's, but there's an interface that the
access method can use to adjust the count.

AFAIK, the only safe way to manipulate the count is for a privileged
program to use the supplied interface, and I don't believe that
unprivileged code can do it at all. Of course, you could use an existing
appendage if it does what you need, but there would be support issues.
