I built host and guest kernels with the patches and pinned a while(1) and the
CPU thread from qemu to CPU 2 on the host.  I then started the same while(1)
process in guest and verified that I see ~50% steal time reported.

I then built 2.6.39 (just the code I had present) on the guest and time it
while it was competing with the while(1) on the host for CPU time.  Next I
built the guest kernel with STEAL_TIME=N and reran the kernel compile to make
sure that there weren't any huge variations in performace.
