Add a helper routine to scheduler/core.c to allow the kvm module

to set up a timer that is used to separate the consigned from the
steal time.
Sorry: What is the business of a timer in here?
Whenever we read steal time, we know how much time has passed and with
that information we can know the entitlement for the period. This breaks
if we suspend, but we know that we suspended, so this is not a problem.
I may be missing something, but how do we know how much time has
passed?  That is why
I had the timer in there.  I will go look again at the code but I
thought the data was collected
as ticks and passed at random times.  The ticks are also accumulating so
we are looking at the
difference in the count between reads.....
They can be collected at random times, but you can of course record the
time in which it happened.

ok.  Let me add a previous_read field and take out the timer.
