On second thought - how does this deal with cpu hotplug and
hot unplug?
Do you allocate a new one of these structs every time a cpu
is hot unplugged and then hotplugged, leaking the old one?
Will leaving the old value around confuse the steal time
calculation?
If you look closely, there are no allocations happening at all,
it's all static.
In that case, does the per-cpu steal area need to be
reinitialized at hotplug time?
