The fields are in nanoseconds, not microseconds. Also fixes the description of `vcpu.<num>.wait`, as it does not actually represent the time waiting on I/O.


Sorry for responding so late to your patch and thank you for the
contribution.  Just a few small nitpicks that I'll fix before pushing:

1) It's better to wrap the commit message so that it does not have such
   long lines, and

2) I would rather use the short description about waiting in runqueue.
   Having said that...

  Exposed to the VM as a steal time.

that makes it the same message as this, even though we gather the info
from different places.  I went through a really deep dive into the
differences just to review this and I can't think of any other
difference than the wait being calculated maybe more precisely, but only
if CONFIG_SCHED_INFO is enabled.

Anyway, I'll fix up these two things and push the patch with my
