Do you have an idea on how QEMU could reflect the real host clock frequency to the guest when the host cpu scaling governor kicks in ? Giving a false value to cloud customers is mildly annoying.

Probably you will need changes on KVM, SeaBIOS and QEMU to implement the interfaces to let the system notify the OS about CPU frequency changes. I don't know much a lot about ACPI and power management, to know how much of that is already implemented and how much is missing.

Some users running cpu intensive tasks checking the cache CPUID leaves at startup and making decisions based on the result reported that the guest was not reflecting the host CPUID leaves when -cpu host is used.
