Not sure how we can get rid of it since we still need to advertise to
the guest how much rr-buffer size we expect to return all
perf-stats. Sorry but I didnt make out of any suggestions below that
could get rid of this define.

Matching the PowerVM behaviour here which doesnt enforce any limitations
on the how many times a single perf-stat can appear in rr-buffer.

Though the PAPR-SCM defines stat-ids as u64 they are essentially 8-byte
ascii strings encoded in a u64. The guest kernel and this proposed qemu
patch doesnt do any math operations on them which might be effected by
their endianess.
The switch from u64->char[8] is done only for a more convinent
ASCII representation stats-ids in nvdimm_pref_stats[].
