What CPU profile is being presented to the OpenBSD guest?

I've seen things like this happen when a vCPU is claimed to have monitor/mwait
support, but the hypervisor implements those as NOPs, which just results in
spinning like this.

In short - try changing the type of CPU presented to the guest and see if that
changes behaviour. At least then you'll have more data points to work with.
