Please spell out "descriptors", I find it difficult to visually differentiate
desc vs. descs.  I don't mind the short version for variable names, but for helpers
provided by the library I think the added clarity is worth the verbosity.

Aha!  This is the right patch to deal with the "variable" name_size.  Rather than
open code the adjustment for header->name_size, add a helper for _that_.  Then
read_stats_descriptors() can do:

	desc_size = get_stats_descriptor_size(header);
	total_size = header->num_desc * get_stats_descriptor_size(header);

	stats_desc = calloc(header->num_desc, desc_size);
	TEST_ASSERT(stats_desc, "Allocate memory for stats descriptors");

	ret = pread(stats_fd, stats_desc, total_size, header->desc_offset);
	TEST_ASSERT(ret == total_size, "Read KVM stats descriptors");

Those helpers provide an even better place for the comments that my cleanup patch
adds.

This be "read_stats_descriptors" (or read_stats_descs() if someone objects to the
verbose name) to make it clear this reads multiple desriptors.

E.g. this on top (compile tested only)
