Get the number of sparse banks from the VARHEAD field, which the guest is
required to provide as "The size of a variable header, in QWORDS.", where
the variable header is:
Variable Header Bytes = {Total Header Bytes - sizeof(Fixed Header)}
rounded up to nearest multiple of 8
Variable HeaderSize = Variable Header Bytes / 8
In other words, the VARHEAD should match the number of sparse banks.
Keep the manual count as a sanity check, but otherwise rely on the field
so as to more closely align with the logic defined in the TLFS and to
allow for future cleanups.
Tweak the tracepoint output to use "rep_cnt" instead of simply "cnt" now
that there is also "var_cnt".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
