How often does this shift of stats from cache to zone happen?

Recently we've made a facility for stats that doesn't use atomics: counter(9).

However, it utilizes UMA zone to achieve that. So if I suggest to use it
in UMA, then at bootstrap we would have a chicken & egg problem. I can try
to solve it and move UMA stats to counter(9), if you like the idea.
