You are right about the risk here. The new string array would be returned
to userspace by the new Ioctl API. I didn't figure out any other good
way for this.
Will add this into commit message.

The use of ulong for vm stats is to avoid the overhead of atomics,
since vm stats
could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time.
