Maybe. I'm only testing against 2.6.27 as oldest host, down to 2.6.24 is
solely build-tested. Maybe the missing MMU notfiers in <= 2.6.26 cause
troubles, though this used to work before.

Can't promise that I find the time to look into this (such old kernels
are out of official scope). If I managed to, I would try to bisect over
kvm-kmod-2.6.32 what import from kvm.git or what kvm-kmod wrapping
brought us the breakage. But maybe someone else finds the time, setup
support would be provided...
