This series refactors the KVM stats macros to reduce duplication and adds the support for choosing custom names for stats. Custom name makes it possible to decouple the userspace-visible stat names from their internal representation in C. This can allow future commits to refactor the various stats structs without impacting userspace tools that read KVM stats. This also allows stats to be stored in data structures such as arrays, without needing unions to access specific stats. Case in point, the last patch in this series removes the pages_{4k,2m,1g} union, which is a useful cleanup to prepare for sharing paging code across architectures [1]. And for full transparency, another motivation for this series it that at Google we have several out-of-tree stats that use arrays. Custom name support is something we added internally and it reduces our technical debt to get the support merged upstream. Tested on x86. Compile tested on ARM. Not yet tested on any other architectures.
