Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] cpu steal time accounting

One nice side effect of having this feature is that the explicit stolen

I don't understand the last paragraph here. It's not true that, for example,
 available_time = real_time - stolen_time
right?

Ah, okay, I see that in fact it is. :-)

Why not just have a halted_time instead? I think that's what we'd go for in Xen.
