I was very confused on header->name_size. So this field means the
maximum string size of a stats name, right? Can we update the comments
in the kvm.h to specify that? By reading the comments, I don't really
feel this is how we should use this field.

hmm, if that is true, isn't this field a compile time value? Why do we
have to get it at runtime?
