Yeah, screw CONFIG_PARAVIRT :-) Its just that the code that deals with
high res steal time is only used by them. So ideally you'd extract the
relevant bits from under CONFIG_PARAVIRT and use them.

So its that one block in update_rq_clock_task() (or both if you also
have high res irq accounting) and then you need to provide
paravirt_steal_clock(int cpu) which returns the steal time of that cpu
in nano-seconds granularity. Which I'm assuming s390 has available
someplace.

+- some renames to remove the paravirt_ part of names.
