Sounds like your guest kernel is trying to access an x86_64 register?

You can of cause try insmod'ing kvm.ko with ignore_msrs=1. You hopefully
don't need syscalls until you get into user space.
The option doesn't exist yet in 2.6.31 which I'm running on this box
because 2.6.32-rc has massive regressions for my workload.  I booted
into it again anyway to test the option - and interestingly enough
qemu with -enable-kvm boots just fine even without ignore_msrs=1.

Looks like the problem only happens with older kernels.

Strange - qemu -kernel has zero interaction with the host kernel. It's a totally normal boot process.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to 
panic.
