Well.  In that case, why are you filing a bug report against qemu?

As far as I can see, in your case the HOST kernel breaks, receiving
an NMI for all CPUs.  This is something which no user-space program
should be able to achieve, no matter what.

And you state that previous kernel version worked fine, so it is the
kernel which broke when updating to 3.13 version.

How it is a qemu problem?

Note also that you're running a 32bit kernel - this is something which
has not been tested for a very long time.  No developers run qemu/kvm
on 32bit kernels.  No testing environment has 32bit kernels.  We in
Debian have a few bugreports against qemu involving 32bit kernels,
and those stays unfixed forever because it is an environment which
has very little value nowadays, and which bitrots slowly because no
one tests it anymore.

Does the same problem occurs when you run it with 64bit kernel instead?

Do you know whenever it worked with older version(s) of qemu but with
the current kernel?

Thanks,
