[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] credit1: track residual from divisions done during accounting

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

This should help with under-accounting of vCPU-s running for extremly
short periods of time, but becoming runnable again at a high frequency.

v2: Comment ASSERT() and drop credit2 portion upon George's request.
