Not so fast...  the patch updates the flood count to 5.  Can you check 
if a lower value still works?  Also, whether updating the flood count to 
5 (without the rest of the patch) works?

Unconditionally bumping the flood count to 5 will likely cause a 
performance regression on other guests.

While I was able to see excessive flooding, I couldn't reproduce your 
kscand problem.  Running /bin/true always returned immediately for me.

The kernel is trying to correlate tsc and pit, which isn't going to work.

Try disabling the tsc, set edx.bit4=0 for cpuid.eax=1 in qemu-kvm-x86  
.c do_cpuid_ent().
