Can you try a bisect?

If you bisect only kvm patches it should be pretty fast. The following
commands should do it:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git

(if you already have a linux git tree somewhere, do 'git remote add -f
stable
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git'
instead)

git bisect start v2.6.29.1 v2.6.28 -- arch/x86/kvm virt/kvm

git will check out a test version, build it and test, and respond with
'git bisect bad' or 'git bisect good'. Rinse and repeat.
