Yes and no.  KVM's PV steal time information isn't exposed anywhere, but only
because it's simply a reflection of the task's run_delay that's reported in
/proc/PID/schedstat (second column).

I assume there are tools that translate schedstat into human-readable information,
and/or do analysis on the info, but I don't have personal experience with any such
tools.  If you need more help, I recommend pinging sched folks, as this is really
a scheduler question, not a KVM question.
