Please post the output of "mpstat -P ALL 1".  mpstat is from the sysstat
package.

If you see 100% %usr then QEMU is spinning.

If you see 100% %guest then the guest is spinning.

The next step would be to drill down on what activity is taking 100%
CPU.

Have you installed the latest updates on the host and inside the guest?
