I ran into the same problem. 2.6.34.1 and 2.6.35-rc6 SMP guest

It appears that last is way ahead of ret twice.
The kernel boots with this debug patch that makes the clock go
backwards if the difference is big:
last = atomic64_read(&last_value);
do {
- if (ret< last)
- return last;
+ if (ret< last) {
+ if ( last - ret< 25000000 )
+ return last;
+ else
+ printk("pvclock backwards: ret = %llx; last =
%llx\n", ret, last);
+ }
last = atomic64_cmpxchg(&last_value, last, ret);
} while (unlikely(last != ret));

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
