Can you loading kvm_amd on this host with 'modprobe kvm-amd npt=0'?
So that's most likely the problem for me:

So clearly there is something odd going on with the first one. It looks
like it's CPU-bound, and this is throttling the IO?

Is your VM under memory pressure?
I don't think so. The host has 128 GB of memory, and even the
pre-emptive kernel caching doesn't come close to filling it:

'dd', without further arguments, will write to the page cache and let
the kernel write the data back at a later time. If you increase the
