MIN_OUTPUT_BUFFER is a better name, but still not great.  I think we
can get rid of this define completely in a neat way, though.  See below.

Although it's technically allowed, I'm still not convinced there's
actually any reason to allow the user to request the same stat over
and over.

So using a char[] here, but a uint64_t in the request structure makes
it pretty hard to follow if you're doing the right thing
w.r.t. endianness, especially since you effectively memcmp() directly
between u64s and char[]s.  You really want to use a consistent type
for the ids.

I don't see why you're making this temporary copy here.

I'd recommend testing and exiting on this error case before handling
the all stats case.  Disposing of error cases early is more idiomatic.

You can then combine the all stats and n-stats cases a bit more nicely
with something like:
    actual_numstats = (*num_stats) ? (*num_stats) : ARRAY_SIZE(...);

Then use the same logic to compute the expected bufsize (min_bufsize
might be a better name) in both cases.

I think you can avoid the MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER check here...

.. if you put it here instead, then you will have dealt with all
obviously bad buffer sizes early.

Then you can safely base this malloc on the given size, rather than
always over-allocating.

And you can also read the entire thing with a single memory read here.

This is a bit cryptic.  Just deal with the memtx error first, then run
the buffer validation.  Actually, you can unify the exit paths for
these and the success case by using a goto label near the end which
has the g_free() and return rc.
