That makes some sort of wierd sense. First kvm samples X86_FEATURE_NX,
sees that it has the feature, reports it to qemu, qemu runs the guest,
NX gets disabled in between, the guest tries to enable NX, kvm kills it.

Second time round, kvm reports that NX is not available, qemu does not
enable it, neither does the guest, and everyone is happy.

Please confirm that when the guest does boot, it boots without NX in
/proc/cpuinfo.
