[Users] Loadavg virtualisation problem (028stab047.1+fix)

[Kirill Korotaev]

Dariush,

1. what kernel do you use?
2. how do you decide that your machine is idling?
   can you please provide output of `ps axf` from HN?
3. what do you mean by "I played with adding/removing cpus from the guest"?
   vzctl set <VEID> --cpus <N>  or something else?

Yep, I see a problem with counters in the code on --cpus decreasing...
will check...

Thanks,
Kirill
