Important fix which have been already applied on proxmox 4.0.
I thinked it was just comestic, but guest with kernel 3.16 really
slowdown when the bug is triggered.
(seem that cpu scheduler is working bad)

+Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: move steal time initialization to vcpu entry time

+
+As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350,
+it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized
+from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via
+KVM_SET_MSRS.
+
+Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
+sched_info.run_delay).
+
+To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time,
+before copying steal time data to guest.
