Oops - I didn't consider it.

Given that, maybe the best approach would not to rely on per-cpu
counter. I'll respin in the next series with a depth counter that I pass
to the function instead and compare that.  I guess that should address
migration and eliminate the need for per-cpu counter.

Does it make sense?
