The machines are running in OPAL/PowerNV mode, with "ppc64_cpu --smt=off".
The number of VMs varies across the machines:
obs-power8-01: 18 instances, "-smp 16,threads=8"
obs-power8-02: 20 instances, "-smp 8,threads=8"
obs-power8-03: 30 instances, "-smp 8,threads=8"
obs-power8-04: 20 instances, "-smp 8,threads=8"

Can you send us the output of:

# grep . /sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/*

of course, the current values are:

/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/dynamic_mt_modes:6
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/h_ipi_redirect:1
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/indep_threads_mode:Y
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/kvm_irq_bypass:1
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/nested:Y
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/one_vm_per_core:N
/sys/module/kvm_hv/parameters/target_smt_mode:0

(actually identical on all 5 above)
