Do you mean creating a bunch of additional reset_sent_ok
reset_<your_counters> that are just WO and used to reset each single
counter ?
(...I suppose because a global WO reset-all is already there...)

...I think it should be doable easily...but with a lot of duplication so
my next questions would be why ? what would be the gain ?
is it worth the effort being debug feats ?

Thanks,
