Blair, We’ve seen these errors in our deployment as well, on CentOS 7.3 with 3.10 kernels, when looking into instance issues. So far we’ve always discarded them as not relevant to the problems observed, so I’d be very interested if it turns out that these should better not be ignored.

I'm not sure the "rdmsr" logs are relevant though, because we see them on other compute nodes that have no issues. Did you find anything that might indicate what the root cause is?

We have seen these messages before but never with a strong correlation to guest problems. However over the past couple of weeks this is happening almost daily with consistent correlation for a set of hosts dedicated to a particular HPC workload. So far as I know the workload has not changed, but we have just recently moved the hypervisors to Ubuntu Xenial (though they were already on the Xenial kernel previously) and done minor guest (CentOS7) updates. CPU mode is host-passthrough. Currently trying to figure out if the CPU flags in the guest have changed since the host upgrade...
