It's actually harmless; it's the Bochs BIOS trying to access the vmport function
13, which means "give me your UUID". However, upstream Qemu (and hence, KVM)
doesn't support this function, so that's where the error message comes from. If
I understand it correctly, upstream Qemu now has suppressed this warning
message, so the next time KVM syncs up, the message will disappear.
