grub is probably booting via int 19 or jumping to the reset vector, so 
kvm doesn't see the reboot.  If that's the case, we can either implement 
the chipset's memory control registers properly and teach the bios to 
program them, or add a hack in the bios to trigger the copying without 
the full reset.
