Duh, I should've actually taken a closer look at the commit I found...
another workaround for the problem is:

qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -machine smm=off

though the commit  message seems to state that the default is off for
kvm - so that's where the bug is?

Title:
  qemu 2.4.0 with --enable-kvm hangs, takes 100% CPU

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  When starting qemu-system-x86_64 from version 2.4.0 with --enable-kvm,
  it hangs and takes 100% CPU. The graphical display (SeaBIOS output) is
  not initialized.

  There have been multiple reports of this issue in the following thread:
  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1572405

  There is no need to load a certain image, it already hangs with the following 
command:
  qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm

  There are three workarounds:
  - Downgrading the kernel form 4.2.2 to 4.1.6 (according to the forum thread, 
have not tested this myself)
  - Downgrading qemu to 2.3 (tested personally, works)
  - passing -machine pc-i440fx-2.3 to qemu 2.4 (have not tested this myself, I 
will try that shortly)

  modules kvm and kvm_intel are loaded and rmmod && modprobing them does
  not change the situation

  I have an nvidia card and switching from official binary drivers to
  nouveau and back does not change the situation.

  
  qemu is installed from Arch package. From the PKGBUILD you can see that is is 
built with the following configuration:
  ================================================================
  export ARFLAGS="rv"
    export CFLAGS+=' -fPIC'
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --audio-drv-list='pa alsa sdl' \
                --python=/usr/bin/python2 --smbd=/usr/bin/smbd \
                --enable-docs --libexecdir=/usr/lib/qemu \
                --disable-gtk --enable-linux-aio --enable-seccomp \
                --enable-spice --localstatedir=/var \
                --enable-tpm \
                --enable-modules --enable-{rbd,glusterfs,libiscsi,curl}
    make V=99

  Is there more information I can provide you with to help debug this
