Yes that looks promising. If I recall correctly we had some strange top behaviours when we introduced the steal time. Old top added the steal time to idle.

No hurry..that was specific to our implementation, not KVM :-) Besided that, Ingo changed the accouting with his CFS scheduler, and I still have to figure out how CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING can be properly integrated in CFS.
