This patch accounts steal time time in kernel/sched.
I kept it from last proposal, because I still see advantages
in it: Doing it here will give us easier access from scheduler
variables such as the cpu rq. The next patch shows an example of
usage for it.

Since functions like account_idle_time() can be called from
multiple places, not only account_process_tick(), steal time
grabbing is repeated in each account function separatedely.

I still don't see how we export this to userspace for top(1) and friends.

The existing steal time stuff is:

  kernel/sched.c:account_steal_time()

	cpustat->steal = cputime64_add(cpustat->steal, cputime64);

and

  fs/proc/stat.c:show_stat()


	steal = cputime64_add(steal, kstat_cpu(i).cpustat.steal);

	seq_printf(p, "cpu  %llu %llu %llu %llu %llu %llu %llu %llu %llu "
		"%llu\n",
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(user),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(nice),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(system),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(idle),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(iowait),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(irq),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(softirq),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(steal),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(guest),
		(unsigned long long)cputime64_to_clock_t(guest_nice));



Ah, so we're all set. Do you know if any user tools process this information?
