I do have host tracepoints for all events. I still prefer to have also
kvm stats since they are so much easier to use right now. We can delete
them later when we replace kvm_stat with perf.

1M faulting processes on one vcpu simultaneously. And we limit number of
outstanding apfs anyway.

Will try to re-factor.

Yeah. May be it can be moved to separate function and this will help to
get rid of goto as well.

Will look into it.

Number of kernel threads are limited by other means. Slow work subsystem
has its own knobs to tune that. Here we limit how much slow work items
can be queued per vcpu.

You mean to have core kernel facility for that? I agree it would be
nice, but much harder.
