Description of problem: KVM crashes during initialization on one specific system. The failure happens inside an expansion ROM immediately upon return from INT 10h: QEMU 0.13.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) KVM internal error.

KVM worked once upon a time on this system (and I used it regularly), I'm not sure, however, when it started to break.

I'm a doofus; I forgot I had already reported this once. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 639208 ***
