This issue can be reproduced with KVM nodes on our BareMetal MAAS

Step to reproduce:
1. Deploy a KVM node with Xenial / Bionic
2. sudo apt install gcc build-essential cpu-checker qemu-kvm git
3. git clone --depth=1 git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/kvm-unit-tests/ -b disco
4. cd kvm-unit-tests
5. ./configure
6. make standalone
7. cd tests
8. sudo ./vmx_nm_test

When this happens, the node will stop responding, nothing special can be found in syslog. The virsh on the host will show it's been paused:
