This series is superseded by Peter Feiner's internal KVM patch that
exports an array of counts, one for each VM-exit reason ("kvm: vmx
exit reason stats"). This is better since it does not require
instrumenting every VM-exit handler in KVM and introducing a stat for
every exit.

Assuming upstream would want exit count stats I would suggest we drop
this patch and upstream Peter's instead. Although we need to sort out
AMD and other architectures as well.
