Yes, I was going to revert Alex's too.

Andrey provided backtraces for this issue here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/286679

The first backtrace attached is bt-noreset.txt, the second is bt-reset.txt
but they are identical.  The backtraces lack symbols for QEMU, but it looks 
like the VMs are running because the CPU threads all look like this:

Thread 4 (Thread 0x7f0054ff9700 (LWP 2915)):

where the ioctl is likely KVM_RUN.
