Yes.

Also yes. I considered macro magic to cover it but it turned into a
major mess. They could always be summed so it would be a minor
performance dent and a heavier cache footprint.

As the NUMA counters are consumed by userspace, I worried that it would
break some tools. If the rest of the series gets solidified then I will
do it as a single patch on top so it can be reverted if necessary
relatively easily.
