When you run KVM with coreduo cpu model it emulates PMU which basically
make is perf front end. If you can reproduce the messages with perf too
it probably means that the problem is not in the KVM itself. If you
disabled NMI watchdog in the guest the messages may go away.
Can you send your guest's dmesg when you boot it with coreduo mode?
