Running an idle Windows VM on Linux 2.6.26+ with kvm, one sees high values

leading me to believe this is an accounting error and that the process does
not actually consume this much cpu.
Busted process accounting - This looks the same as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11209 .
Please verify. Peter's patch in latest git stops showing "incorrect
looking" CPU usage but at least the process times are still wrong,
horribly.
In fact the CPU usage thing in -rc5 is likely also incorrect but I
need to analyze that bit a little more.
From Today's Git -
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
12961 parag 20 0 83000 8908 6628 R 0 0.1 5124415h npviewer.bin
Yes, it looks very similar. In my tests, %CPU is consistent with TIME;
it's just not consistent with what's actually happening and with the
global statistics.
