The test itself is a simple usage of SQLite. It is stock KVM as

So assuming that KVM upstream works as expected that would leave
either 2.6.31 having an issue, or Ubuntu having an issue.
Care to make an assertion on the KVM in 2.6.31? Leaving only Ubuntu's
installation.
kvm has nothing to do with it, it's purely qemu. For a long time qemu
has defaulted to write-through cacheing. This can be overridden and
maybe that's what Ubuntu or Phoronix do.
Can some KVM developers attempt to confirm that a 'correctly'
configured KVM will not demonstrate this behaviour?
http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ (or is already available in newer
distributions of Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu.
A correctly configured kvm will not demonstrate this behaviour.
It was a very old kvm version (kvm-84). But of course, the version of
kvm is not mentioned on the Phoronix site...
