[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] xen: support runqueue steal time on xen

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Up to now reading the stolen time of a remote cpu was not possible in a
performant way under Xen. This made support of runqueue steal time via
paravirt_steal_rq_enabled impossible.

With the addition of an appropriate hypervisor interface this is now
possible, so add the support.
