[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 11/11] Documentation: virtual: kvm: Support vcpu preempted check

[Pan Xinhui <xinhui.pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Commit ("x86, kvm: support vcpu preempted check") add one field "__u8
preempted" into struct kvm_steal_time. This field tells if one vcpu is
running or not.

It is zero if 1) some old KVM deos not support this filed. 2) the vcpu is
not preempted. Other values means the vcpu has been preempted.
