Since doing the latter is a lot more tedious and I want to get reviewing
other's RCU patches today :) , I just squashed the suggestion into the
counters patch to fix bissection:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git/commit/?h=rcu/segcb-counts&id=595e3a65eeef109cb8fcbfcc114fd3ea2064b873

Hope that's Ok. Also, so that I don't have to resend everything, here is the
final branch if Paul wants to take it:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (branch rcu/segcb-counts)

Thank you for your time, Frederick!
