statements with it.

No functional changes intended.

I like the diffstat too, but I think we need a slightly different name for the
macro.  "EXIT_REASON" can be interpreted as "hardware exit reason" or "KVM exit
(to userspace) reason".  Most usage will be fairly obvious, but I'd like to avoid
confusion when swapping between selftests and KVM-unit-tests (which often asserts
on the hardware exit reason).   The name will be a bit longer, but I don't think
line length with ever be a problem.  And most people will just copy+paste so finger
fatigue likeliy won't be an issue either.

I also vote to prefix it with TEST, i.e. TEST_ASSERT_KVM_EXIT_REASON(), for
consistency and to make it very clear it's a TEST_ASSERT() wrapper.  ASSERT_EQ()
makes me twitch every time I see it.  This is definitely a personal preference 
(or problem) I can survive with though :-)

I will send a patch with TEST_ASSERT_KVM_EXIT_REASON. No one should
twitch while reading code!
