[PATCH v2 0/4] Verify dirty logging works properly with page stats

[Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@google.com>]

This patchset is to verify if dirty logging works properly by checking page
stats from the per-VM interface. We discovered one performance bug in
disallowed_hugepage_adjust() which prevents KVM from recovering large pages
for the guest. The selftest logic added later could help validate the
problem.

The patchset borrowes two patches come from Ben's series: "[PATCH 00/13]
KVM: x86: Add a cap to disable NX hugepages on a VM" [1], which completes
the selftest library functions to use the stats interface.

v2 -> v1:
 - Update the commit message. [dmatlack]

 - Add another iteration in dirty_log_perf_test to regain pages [bgardon]
