But if this is hard to reproduce then perhaps keep the spinning guest around a bit longer so we can poke at it and figure out what is happening. The pidstat output shows us that it's the guest that is spinning, not qemu-kvm userspace. The system time (time spent in host kernel) is also quite high so running kvm_stat might show some interesting KVM events happening.
