I was able to boot the ISO you've provided using qemu-kvm from backports. Didn't test anything else, though. Host system is Debian Squeeze, qemu-kvm version is 1.0+dfsg-8~bpo60+1. I've attached full boot log taken from serial console just in case. Apparently, the trick is to tell qemu-kvm not to strip an 'lm' processor bit, i.e present a guest CPU as x86_64, not i686.
