Why not use kvm_write_guest_cached() here and introduce kvm_read_guest_cached()
for the read above?

Shouldn't we call record_steal_time(vcpu)/vcpu->arch.st.this_time_out = get_kernel_ns();
just before/after entering/exiting a guest? vcpu_(put|get) are called
for each vcpu ioctl, not only VCPU_RUN.
