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.
