Given that SW_INCR depends on the specific counter used (and userspace
has no control over this), I don't think that it makes sense to expose
to userspace, much like CHAIN, so I suspect it's better to update the
commentary instead.

Do you have a need for SW_INCR, or was this found by inspection?

Thanks,
Mark.
