Hi!
I am working on a light-weight KVM userspace launcher for Linux and am
bit stuck with a guest Linux kernel restarting when it tries to enter
long mode.
The register dump looks like this:
penberg@tiger:~/vm$ ./kvm bzImage
KVM exit reason: 8 ("KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN")

I already asked Avi in private about this and he suggested I'd post a
register dump to the list. Please note that I am in no way ruling out
a bug in our fakebios "emulation" but my gut feeling is that I'm just
missing something obvious in the KVM setup.
For those that might be interested, source code to the launcher is
available here:
git clone git://github.com/penberg/vm.git
Launching a Linux kernel is as simple as:
make ; ./kvm bzImage
