Right.  I fixed this for kvm-60, see attached patch.

    kvm: qemu: restore IO_MEM_ROM mark to bios when registering the memory with kvm
    
    We removed the IO_MEM_ROM mark for qemu, since the tpr optimization needs to
    update the bios.  However, kvm_cpu_register_physical_memory() uses the mark
    for other purposes, so keep it.  The removal broke bootstrap on older kernels.
