["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Cook, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an
update is available for your BIOS (1.41). If you update to this, does it
change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad W520] KVM Guests only use one CPU after host wakes up
  from sleep

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  ThinkPad W520 running U12.04 with the latest updates applied.
  VT-d enabled in BIOS
  NVIDIA driver disabled (because it simply doesn't boot with VT-d enabled)
  KVM Guests of Windows7, RHEL5.3

  i) Start KVM Guest and you can see all host CPUs timeslicing and guest is fast and responsive.
  ii) Shutdown KVM Guest.
  iii) Place Host laptop into sleep mode.
  iv) Wake up host and restart KVM Guest
  v) KVM Guest CPU graph is at 50%, never fluctuates and behaviour is like single-core.  All host CPUs are idling except for one at 100%.

  This is quite reproducable.  It is identical in performance and KVM Guest behaviour if you disabled VT-d in the BIOS (but have VT enabled).
