Thanks for the research Chris.

Marking Triaged, since you've tracked this down to the upstream mailing list posts. Marking Low, since kernels <2.6.24 are (hopefully) becoming increasingly rare.

To your two suggestions... I know that upstream qemu in the past has really, really tried to avoid special case code for buggy behavior in guests. The latter is far more doable. How do you propose that we do this? If your guest is an Ubuntu kernel <2.6.24 (ie, Dapper), we can open a task and try to get it fixed. If it's another distribution, I suggest you try to contact that distribution's kernel developers.
