Subject: [PATCH v6 9/9] Documentation: virtual: kvm: Support vcpu preempted check

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
not preempted. Other values mean the vcpu has been preempted.
