After a virsh save + restore from file, htop reports ~100% cpu steal time (st), while top reports ~100% idle time.

May this be a bug in htop? Are there any fixes available, or is this simply some strange qemu/kvm behavior?

htop top

Debian 8, Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64, htop 1.0.3, top (procps-ng) 3.3.9, virsh 1.2.9

According to this thread, this is caused by a bug in KVM and is fixed in KVM 2.1.3 and 2.2.

The latest Debian package (kvm-qemu 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u2) does not seem to include that fix.
