I see kernel 3.15 is now out, so I retested with 3.15 guest and host. I'm
still getting exactly the same guest kernel panic: a divide error in
kvm_unlock_kick with -cpu host, but not with -cpu qemu64:
divide error: [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Running a 3.14.4 x86-64 SMP guest kernel on qemu-2.0, with kvm enabled and
-cpu host on a 3.14.4 AMD Opteron host, I'm seeing a reliable kernel panic from
the guest shortly after boot. I think is happening in kvm_unlock_kick() in the
guest kernel paravirt_ops code:
divide error: [#1] PREEMPT
