Title:
  guest hang due to missing clock interrupt

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  I noticed on 2 different systems that after upgrade from precise to latest trusty VMs are crashing:

  - in case of Windows VMs I'm getting BSOD with error message: "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval."
  - On linux VMs I'm noticing "hrtimer: interrupt took 2992229 ns" messages 
  - On some proprietary virtual appliances I'm noticing crashes an due to missing timer interrupts

  QEMU version is:
  QEMU emulator version 1.7.91 (Debian 2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-0ubuntu3)
