Hopefully doing its job - servicing other guests. What are you asking ?.
Linux metrics are from the perspective of Linux - and it has a heritage of a 
stand-alone O/S. It may 
think the cycles have been "stolen", others may disagree.
Think of it as involuntary non-dispatch. Has to happen in any non bare-metal 
environment - including 
(non-z/VM) PR/SM.
Things are going to get even more confusing if the distro distributors decide 
to include the "guest" 
numbers that are maintained on current kernels. Especially if Redhat (for 
example) decide to ship a (z 
series) KVM option...
