Applying this patch and building the kernel fixed the problem for me. Thank you!

Sorry about this.  We now have a candidate fix for this, which should be
released soon.  Perhaps you would like to test it?  Instructions for
rebuilding an official kernel package with extra patches are at

Subject: KVM: x86: disable paravirt mmu reporting
From: Marcelo Tosatti<mtosa...@redhat.com>

commit a68a6a7282373bedba8a2ed751b6384edb983a64 upstream

Disable paravirt MMU capability reporting, so that new (or rebooted)
guests switch to native operation.

Paravirt MMU is a burden to maintain and does not bring significant
advantages compared to shadow anymore.
