Seems reasonable if you rely on the counters to have them cover
everything. Some meta-questions, though:

- A lot of the places are also covered by trace events and/or dbf
  events. These can add more information (like payload etc.), but are
  not as lightweight as the counters. Does it also make sense to fill
  in any gaps in that infrastructure? Or aren't they used as much? (I
  haven't done much kvm debugging recently, so I'm probably not the
  person to judge their usefulness.)

Some of the injection functions (like this one) can return an error.
There does not seem to be any tracing of those failures, though. Would
it be helpful for at least some cases, or is that overkill?

Patch looks good to me, so
