With the change I made to Xiao's patch (changing -13 to -150) you won't
see it immediately after startup, but the first wraparound may still
come very soon with a loop that reads the ROM.  (The second takes 5
minutes).

printk_ratelimited is enough, even without ignoring the first
wraparound.  It will handle the case of multiple VMs too.
