You should check if you have APAR VM63838 installed. (PTF UM31710)
See http://www.vm.ibm.com/perf/qebsm.html for some details. In a nutshell if 
you have a z890 or higher and z/VM 5.2+ and a linux kernel 2.6.16+ the 
improved qdio buffer management is used, which reduces the CP overhead. There 
was a problem in z/VM which could lead to several strange symptoms. Also 
check your micro code level (see the link for details)
Hope this helps.
