'perf kvm top' shows a continual flurry of:
Can't find guest [5201]'s kernel information

if it can't find the guest info and with a lot of VMs running a user
has no chance of reading them all. Limit message to once per guest.

Abuse of strlist? Can't we have an intlist?

Use of existing facility. :-) I'll look at adding an intlist facility.
