I still think the unlikely() makes no sense here; at runtime it's either
going to be always on or off (in the sense that switching it will be
RARE). The cpus branch predictor will get that right; while if you force
it unlikely you can even run the risk of getting a 100% miss on some
architectures (not x86/x86-64) when you enable the accounting
