get_page_stats() is already called in run_test() explicitly for other
stats. I think it's better to split this function and make the flow
like:

run_vcpus_till_iteration(iteration++);
get_page_stats(vm, &stats_populated, "populating memory");

This makes it easy to follow run_test_till_iteration() and easy to see
where stats are collected. run_test_till_iteration() can also be a
library function used by other tests like dirty_log_perf_test

Should there be a message to show  that this capability is not tested
as it is not available?
Or, there can be a command line option to explicitly provide intent of
testing combined,  split modes, or both? Then test can error out
accordingly.
