Thanks for testing that.

Next it would be helpful to test (separately) both the latest
kernel and the latest qemu-kvm versions.

The most recent qemu-kvm upstream build is at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-edgers/+archive/server-edgers-qemu-kvm

The kernel daily build is at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-01-19-natty/
It is for natty, but should work fine in maverick. You can just download
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-01-19-natty/linux-image-2.6.37-999-generic_2.6.37-999.201101190911_amd64.deb
and install it with dpkg -i.
