The shadow gmap tracks memory of nested guests (guest-3). In certain scenarios, the shadow gmap needs to be rebuilt, which is a costly operation since it involves a SIE exit into guest-1 for every entry in the respective shadow level. Add kvm stat counters when new shadow structures are created at various levels. Also add a counter gmap_shadow_create when a completely fresh shadow gmap is created as well as a counter gmap_shadow_reuse when an existing gmap is being reused. Note that when several levels are shadowed at once, counters on all affected levels will be increased. Also note that not all page table levels need to be present and a ASCE can directly point to e.g. a segment table. In this case, a new segment table will always be equivalent to a new shadow gmap and hence will be counted as gmap_shadow_create and not as gmap_shadow_segment.
