/* 16-bit countdown counters using exponential backoff.

   These are used by the adaptive specializer to count down until
   it is time to specialize an instruction. If specialization fails
   the counter is reset using exponential backoff.

   Another use is for the Tier 2 optimizer to decide when to create
   a new Tier 2 trace (executor). Again, exponential backoff is used.

   The 16-bit counter is structured as a 12-bit unsigned 'value'
   and a 4-bit 'backoff' field. When resetting the counter, the
   backoff field is incremented (until it reaches a limit) and the
   value is set to a bit mask representing the value 2**backoff - 1.
   The maximum backoff is 12 (the number of bits in the value).

   There is an exceptional value which must not be updated, 0xFFFF.
