I, and I expect others, have a keen interest in knowing how often we
exit for PLE, and also how often that includes a yielding to another
vcpu. The following adds two more counters to kvmstat to track the
exits and the vcpu yields. This in no way changes PLE behavior, just
helps us track what's going on.
