Debugfs sounds good. If you use one file per hcall, it's probably as
easy as

static u64 hcall_stats_get(void *data)
{
	unsigned long index =3D (unsigned long)data;
	return read_hcall_count(index);
}
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(hcall_fops, hcall_stats_get, NULL, "%llu\n");

void hcall_stats_create(void)
{
	unsigned long i;
	struct dentry *dir;

	dir =3D debugfs_create_dir("hcall_stats", NULL);
	for (i=3D0; i <=3D MAX_HCALL_OPCODES; i++) {
		char name[16];
		sprintf(name, "%d", i << 2);
		debugfs_create_file(name, 0444, dir, (void *)i, &hcall_fops);
	}
}
