That's doable if all counters are steerable. IIRC some counters are
fixed function, but I'm not certain about that.
I am not an expert, but from what I learned from Peter, there are
constraints on some of the counters. Ie. certain types of events can
only be counted on certain counters, which limits the already very
limited number of counters even further.
