vms and vcpus have statistics associated with them which can be viewed
within the debugfs. Currently it is assumed within the vcpu_stat_get() and
vm_stat_get() functions that all of these statistics are represented as
u32s, however the next patch adds some u64 vcpu statistics.

Change all vcpu statistics to u64 and modify vcpu_stat_get() accordingly.
Since vcpu statistics are per vcpu, they will only be updated by a single
vcpu at a time so this shouldn't present a problem on 32-bit machines
which can't atomically increment 64-bit numbers. However vm statistics
could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time.
To avoid the overhead of atomics make all vm statistics ulong such that
they are 64-bit on 64-bit systems where they can be atomically incremented
and are 32-bit on 32-bit systems which may not be able to atomically
increment 64-bit numbers. Modify vm_stat_get() to expect ulongs.
