Thank you.

I've tested top and ps from procps 3.0.5, 3.1.8, 3.1.14, 3.2.1 and 3.2.7 without
any problem.

And as values are read with a sscanf() by procps, I think adding a field at the
end of the  line is not a problem.

For those who want to play, I've attached a patch to procps-3.2.7 to display
guest time in top.

Regards,
Laurent
