Before accusing kvm-kmod ;), can you check if the effect is visible with
an original Linux 3.3.x or 3.4.x kernel as well?

Then, bisection the change in qemu-kvm that apparently resolved the
issue would be interesting.

If we have to dig deeper, tracing [1] the lockup would likely be helpful
(all events of the qemu process, not just KVM related ones: trace-cmd
record -e all qemu-system-x86_64 ...).
