Steal would be reported by the guests. For the nodes you can report "guest"
though I'm not sure if this is part of RHEL yet. This is what it looks like
on a Fedora 15 system (man mpstat):

%steal
Show the percentage of time spent in involuntary wait by the  virtual  CPU
 or  CPUs  while  the hypervisor was servicing another virtual processor.

%guest
Show the percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to run a virtual
processor.
