How do I get a command line from virt-mgr?
It should be available in the log, and shown by ps.

Secondly, whether or not I can create a new virtual machine is a different 
issue. I shouldn't have to create new virtual machines every time I upgrade my 
system. One virtual machine should be able to run on different processors, 
especially when they are as similar as Phenom II and Bulldozer. According to 
what I've read, I should even be able to migrate a VM from AMD to Intel.
That's exactly how it is here: no matter which CPU I run it on, it works.
It is possible however to make a (physical) winXP confused by upgrading
physical CPU.

Here's the qemu/ghoswheel64.log entries for the startup of the local copy:

I'm confused by your statement about the physical WInXP. Granted, I can't upgrade the mainboard and processor on a physical Windows computer without Windows complaining but that's mainly a licensing issue. Once the proper drivers are installed, it should work.

With a virtual machine, I thought the machine pretty much stayed the same despite differences in the host architecture.
