There's a bit of each here. There are some bits that differ because kvm upstream still does things a little bit different, and some problems arose. I spoke to avi yesterday, and he intends to release fixes today (I think, he can confirm that) Also, in the process of getting the vga optimization cleaned up for qemu, I found a bug in kvm.ko that would prevent it from working. If you can, please try the latest git kernel to see if it fixes for you. As much as I know, there's the intent to release compatibility code for people running older kernels for this bug fix specifically -- Glauber Costa.
