RHEL 6.3?
I'm *not* seeing this bug with recent qemu versions.

Are you looking at the same patch I'm looking at? Before the patch, if
KVM is enabled then the i440fx_update_memory_mappings() function just
bails out without doing anything. As the commit message describes, it
fails to remap the 0xf0000 memory from ROM to RAM, so subsequent writes
to the F-segment actually modify the *ROM* content instead of the RAM
copy as they should. (KVM doesn't write-protect the ROM). So on reset,
it ends up running the *modified* copy of the BIOS.
That's an *exact* description of what Laszlo was seeing, surely?
