Yeah, ideally we make steal_time_clock() a proper paravirt op with:

u64 native_steal_time_clock(int cpu)
{
	WARN_ONCE(1, "Using steal_time_clock() on actual hardware..\n");
	return 0;
}

And use paravirt_enabled() to avoid calling it where possible. Then once
we have all the jump_label stuff sorted we can make paravirt_enabled() a
static_branch() and it'll just go away on native.
