I suggest you start with a very simple guest kernel config (only virtio
drivers), no additional stuff. My gut feeling is that you have stuff in
your 3.10 kernel that shouldn't be there.

Your best bet would probably to use a recent tree for your guests.

kvmtool generates the device tree based on what option you give it.

Mainline in this case means in Pekka Enberg's tree (he is the kvmtool
maintainer).

This is Will Deacon's staging tree, not the mainline tree.

The real thing is at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux.git kvmtool/next
