Does isapc actually work for you?  I tried to write a qemu-test test case 
(attached below) to help prevent future regressions.  I can reproduce your SEGV 
but with your patch applied, I get no output (not even the BIOS runs).

Here's the command line.  Even a simple 'qemu-system-x86_64 -M isapc' 
reproduces it:

/home/anthony/build/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel 
bin/vmlinuz-3.0 -initrd .tmp-3510/initramfs-3510.img.gz -append console=ttyS0 
seed=24689 -M isapc -pidfile .tmp-3510/pidfile-3510.pid -qmp 
unix:.tmp-3510/qmpsock-3510.sock,server,nowait
