The issue I have seen was on two boxes with 890FX chipset and Phenom II
X6 CPUs on a recent avi/master which was 2.6.36 + some kvm patches.

The problem was that the box became extremly sluggish and slow. I stated
dstat and it reported a lot of missed ticks. After some time the
clocksource tsc became unstable and the system became responsive again.
I have not yet investigated this further but can do any requested tests.
