Commit ("x86, kvm: support vcpu preempted check") add one field "__u8
preempted" into struct kvm_steal_time. This field tells if one vcpu is
running or not.

It is zero if 1) some old KVM deos not support this filed. 2) the vcpu is
preempted. Other values means the vcpu has been preempted.

s/preempted/not preempted

And better to fix other typos in the commit log ;-)
Maybe you can try aspell? That works for me.

I think I'd be explicit about the 3 pad bytes you've left.

Seconded.

With that change are all KVM bits

Saw this after replying to the previous message.  If you need to post v6
of the full series, it would be nice if you removed the
kvm_read_guest_cached.  But anyway it wasn't my intention to override Radim.

The patch was acceptable to me even now, so I definitely wouldn't mind
if it were even nicer. :)
