So, scaled accounting will not be available if
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined? Am I reading this correctly

No, what makes you think that?  If VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y it is the
responsibility of the arch's account_process_tick to update the scaled
stats.  And the powerpc version does that by calling
account_user_time_scaled().

Paul.

I looked at the diff's and could just see the reversal of scaled
accounting. I looked at account_process_vtime(), now
account_process_tick() and things seem fine. I was mislead by the
diff.
