This results in numerous compiler errors:

tests/parse-events.c: In function 'kvm_s390_create_vm_valid':

tests/parse-events.c:1622:12: note: (near initialization for 'test__events[45]')

It is using functions that were only added in Linux 4.18 so I think it
should be reverted from the 4.4, 4.9, and 4.14 stable branches.

If the facts do not conform to your theory, they must be disposed of.
