This is a comment from current code:
--------------------
        if ($ost eq 'win7' || $ost eq 'win8' || $ost eq 'w2k8' ||
	    $ost eq 'wvista') {
	    push @$globalFlags, 'kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard';
	    push @$cmd, '-no-hpet';
	    #push @$cpuFlags , 'hv_vapic" if !$nokvm;  #fixme, my win2008R2 hang at
boot with this
	    push @$cpuFlags , 'hv_spinlocks=0xffff' if !$nokvm;
	}

	if ($ost eq 'win7' || $ost eq 'win8') {
	    push @$cpuFlags , 'hv_relaxed' if !$nokvm;
	}
-------------------

So hv_vapic is known to make problems.

Not sure if we can/should add hv_time?
