I fixed a couple of bugs which could well be the root cause of these 
reports.  Please retest with kvm trunk (or kvm-4270 from 
http://people.qumranet.com/avi if you don't wish to use subversion).

One of the fixes is to the x86 instruction emulator.  A symptom of a 
problem there is that kvm_stat reports a large and increasing number of 
pf_guest, but pf_fixed does not increase at all.
