Since we do not use the divide-by-64 option, there should be no
significant difference between the dedicated cycle counter and the
standard cycles event. Since using the latter on DSU-120 now has
the side-effect of allowing multiple cycles events to be scheduled
simultaneously (beneficial for multiple cycle-based metrics), there
seems little reason not to allow the same on older DSUs as well.
