See, that! is the problem, don't round up like that.

What you can do is: steal_ticks = steal_time_clock() / TICK_NSEC, or
simply keep a steal time delta and every time it overflows
cputime_one_jiffy insert a steal-time tick.

Venki might have created some infrastructure for doing this with the
IRQ_TIME accounting mess, but irqtime_account_process_tick() still gives
me a head-ache.
