Description of problem:

I have installed three virtual machines, two RHEL 5.5 and one RHEL 6 Beta 2. On top of RHEL 6 Beta 2. The machines constantly pause.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 6 Beta 2 (from the ISO)

How reproducible:

Start machines, they pause after a while.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install RHEL 6 Beta 2
2. Install and start a number of qemu-kvm guests
3. Wait and they will pause.
  
Actual results:

Machine constantly pause and the following is seen in dmesg on the base host doing the virtualization:
EPT: Misconfiguration.
