Paravirt support is on. We have seen an issue with that in the past. Why was that again?

I'm not aware of any paravirt-related percpu bugs (other than the fact that the last major revision of per-cpu variables was done under the aegis of paravirt-ops).

But booting on bare hardware with pvops enabled should be exactly the same as non-pvops with respect to percpu.
