Thanks for this. I can reproduce a PMM failure using the current qemu git tree with -enable-kvm. (On a related note, did the qemu invocation syntax change at some point? I'm sure I used to have to type "-no-kvm" to prevent KVM from being used; now KVM seems to be disabled by default.) Will investigate.
