Title:
  10-15% iowait on kvm instances on Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04 we began seeing
  10-15% iowait on kvm guests.  The guests had little to no load and yet
  the shell was laggy and commands took forever to respond (assuming you
  could even type them)

  # uname -a
  Linux kvm-andromeda 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC
  2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  # kvm --version
  QEMU emulator version 2.0.0 (Debian 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.1), Copyright (c)
  2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

  I posted to Ubuntu Server and they suggested that I upgrade my kernel
  version.

  After installing a 3.14 kernel the performance returned to normal.
