Please name this block of code.  Something like
  kvm_steal_time_set_preempted(vcpu);
While at it:

1) the kvm_read_guest_cached is not necessary.  You can rig the call to
kvm_write_guest_cached so that it only writes vcpu->arch.st.steal.preempted.
I agree.  kvm_write_guest_cached() always writes from offset 0, so we'd
want a new function that allows to specify a starting offset.
Yeah, let's leave it for a follow-up then!
I think I can make a having-offset version. :)
Thanks,

Paolo

Using cached vcpu->arch.st.steal to avoid the read wouldn't be as good.
