The problem might be related to this bug report:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1895893&group_id=180599&atid=893831

Marcelo Tosatti worked hard on getting the bug fixed, but the patch was 
rejected by the Qemu team because it was not a "proper" fix.  Marcelo has 
been trying to figure out what a proper fix should look like and rework the 
patch.  I don't know what Marcelo's progress has been on the issue.  The 
last working patches Marcelo and others put out which fixes the lock-ups can 
be found here:

http://slim.mypals.org/slim/files/kvm/kvm-64-scsi.patch
http://slim.mypals.org/slim/files/kvm/lsi-busy-loop-3a.patch

You may try installing those patches on KVM (they can still be applied to 
KVM-72) and see if they fix your problems.

Hope this helps.
