That would require remembering the old value, no?
That would work with a previous interface proposal, see:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466937715-6683-2-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com
the vcpu_get_yield_count() thing would match that I think.
However the current proposal:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467124991-13164-2-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com
dropped that in favour of only vcpu_is_preempted(), which requires being
able to tell if a (remote) vcpu is currently running or not, which iirc,
isn't possible with the steal time sequence count.
