Summary: openSUSE 11.0 became broken with newer KVM

Initial Comment:

Host OS: Fedora7/x64, kernel 2.6.21
Guest OS: openSUSE 11.0 BETA2, 32-bit x86 DVD ISO, kernel 2.6.25
CPU: Intel Core 2
KVM: KVM-67 (bug also valid for KVM-68)

KVM-67 broke openSUSE 11.0 on newer KVMs-67/68 on intel.

command:
./qemu-kvm -cdrom openSUSE-11.0-BETA2-32-bit.iso -m 512 -hda myharddisk.qcow2 -boot d

Symptoms:
Red error message is displayed in the guest monitor, during setup stage2 (Yast) load.

I have bisected it.
qemu-merge for KVM-67 userspace is responsible for this bug, commit:
c33833a3f98b1bb9d8208b0ed115009bc20e6e87

Works fully on KVM-66. On KVM-67/68 it works only with "-no-kvm" parameter. 

FAILS with default parameters, fails with -no-kvm-acpi, -no-kvm-pit, -no-kvm-irqchip, and fails when guest is loaded with normal or FAILSAFE kernel boot parameters.
That is: fails in all cases.
