Hello,

I am writting about this patch that was posted by Xiao:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg119044.html and this:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg119045.html
I've tested both kernel 4.2 and 4.3 and problem still exists when I use
OVMF - 100% cpu usage, VM resetting, while it works properly on kernel 4.1
My last (still current) request remains "please quirk it". See the end
of <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1952205/focus=1996025>,
and other messages in that subthread.
when I saw message from Xiao that he posted patch for it and have seen
this code in kernel sources (landed in 4.2-rc3) I though that the status
is not "please quirk it" anymore

I haven't been following kernel development, so maybe the quirk has not
happened. No clue.

... "VM resetting" looks something different though; I've been under the
impression that the pedantic (=unquirked) MTRR configuration didn't
impact other things than speed. Janusz, maybe you could contribute with
a host kernel bisection for the VM reset symptom.
To be more exact - VM is mostly not starting or its starting after long
time and then resetting it self at random time (but before system boots)
or gets very high cpu usage or sometimes boots without problem (the
least possible case scenario). When I start VM with -vga std, not with
my gpu passthrough - in most of the time I get this:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CKrNsueS

It seems the behaviour is different with previous (previously, it can boot
but slowly), right?

The URL cat not be accessed, i do not know it's your web server issue or
our networking issue.

Hard to find which one causes the real issue... but i will try to reproduce
it, could you please share your command line?
