I've updated the kvm host to 2.6.31-18.55-generic from the proposed branch and also installed the linux-image-virtual package (which seems to install 2.6.31-17.54-generic-pae) on the kvm guest.

running the KVM guest with SMP enabled (2 cpu's, the host has an intel T8100 with throttling enabled)

It has been running for over a day, it hasn't shouted the dreaded hrtimer to slow message, normally i'd expect it at least once...

Hopefully it was fixed with this kernel update
