This happens only during boot, is that right? It sounds like maybe
Linux is trying to use some kind of barrier synchronization and failing
because it's having a hard time getting all 16 vcpus to run at once. If
that's the case, I think it's pretty much a Linux kernel issue; not sure
what the hypervisor can do about it.
