I kind of liked this part of the comment, the new (old) one in
svm_handle_exit_irqoff() doesn't actually explain what's going on.

Looking back, I don't quite understand why we wanted to account ticks
between vmexit and exiting guest context as 'guest' in the first place;
to my understanging 'guest time' is time spent within VMX non-root
operation, the rest is KVM overhead (system). It seems to match how the
accounting is done nowadays after Tglx's 87fa7f3e98a1 ("x86/kvm: Move
context tracking where it belongs").
