Each VM is a QEmu process, and each vcpu is a thread of it(but not all the 
threads are vcpus). Currently the KVM related scheduler algorithm is the same 
as other host threads/processes.

You can get thread_id for each vcpu in QEmu monitor, by:

(qemu) info cpus

Then, you can do anything you want with it, e.g. using top to got each 
thread/vcpu's CPU time. :)
