What is the qemu command line you are using to start the > guest and what "cat /proc/cpuinfo" looks like in the guest? The Debian wheezy kernel (3.2.46) does not show this behaviour. It is directly related to KVM and I found out that replacing the option "-cpu coreduo" with "-cpu kvm32" does not generate the NMI messages.
