On my Gentoo-amd64-system qemu still works after upgrading. The only
change I have seen is that "-hdb fat:/" does not result in a crash. I am
not using the kernel-module and I have only run ReactOS
(http://www.reactos.org/).

P.S.: Shipped with ReactOS there was also a precompiled version of qemu
for Windows. I can run that with wine and it is still reasonably fast.
Happy Hacking,
