Does it make sense to have a KVM-only entry there as well?

In that case, if SecPageTables in /proc/meminfo is found to be
suspiciously high, it should be easy to tell which component is
contributing most usage through vmstat. I understand that users can do
the subtraction, but we wouldn't want userspace depending on that, in
case a third class of "secondary" page tables emerges that we want to
add to SecPageTables. The in-kernel implementation can do the
subtraction for now if it makes sense though.
