Add a "blocking" stat that userspace can use to detect the case where a vCPU is not being run because of an vCPU/guest action, e.g. HLT or WFS on x86, WFI on arm64, etc... Current guest/host/halt stats don't show this well, e.g. if a guest halts for a long period of time then the vCPU could could appear pathologically blocked due to a host condition, when in reality the vCPU has been put into a not-runnable state by the guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
