When running 'virt-top -1' , "show percpu statistics mode", 
virt-top shows a fake value.

When running 'while true; do echo hello;done' on a 4vcpu guest,

All cpus just used equally ;)

This is because there is no interface to get per-cpu usage of domain.
This patch adds an interface virDomainPcpuStats() to get per-cpu
statistics, cpuTime in nanoseconds.

Here is a test result with a python script using new interface.

[root at bluextal python]# ./virt-cpuacct.py
({'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 4679204346L}, {'cpuTime': 2103820380L}, {'cpuTime': 8904513019L}, {'cpuTime': 7424701195L})
[root at bluextal python]# ./virt-cpuacct.py
({'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 0L}, {'cpuTime': 57010689139L}, {'cpuTime': 26152907202L}, {'cpuTime': 53759693931L}, {'cpuTime': 43074348218L})

Although I added a new interface, I still wonder what interface is better...
any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
