This series was prompted by feedback given in [1].
Patch 1 : Adds safe_hlt() and cli() helpers.
Patch 2, 3: Adds an interface to read vcpu stat in selftest. Adds
a macro to generate compiler error to detect typos at
compile time while parsing vcpu and vm stats.
Patch 4 : Fix few of the selftests based on newly defined macro.
This series was split from the Idle HLT intercept support series [2]
because the series has a few changes in the vm_get_stat() interface
as suggested in [1] and a few changes in two of the self-tests
(nx_huge_pages_test.c and dirty_log_page_splitting_test.c) which use
vm_get_stat() functionality to retrieve specified VM stats. These
changes are unrelated to the Idle HLT intercept support series [2].
