Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Alter the amount of steal time reported by the guest.

Modify the amount of stealtime that the kernel reports via the /proc interface.
Steal time will now be broken down into steal_time and consigned_time.
Consigned_time will represent the amount of time that is expected to be lost
due to overcommitment of the physical cpu or by using cpu capping.  The amount
consigned_time will be passed in using an ioctl.  The time will be expressed in
the number of nanoseconds to be lost in during the fixed period.  The fixed period
is currently 1/10th of a second.
