Thanks, I've given this a few hours of testing and it seems to work
(this is testing on head rather than on our downstream).
Curiously I do occasionally get a KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN but I think that's
the triple fault you added rather than anything bad happening - it goes
away if I add a debug print before it; here's  a kvm trace
from it:

 qemu-system-x86-2998  [000] 347148.144515: kvm_exit:             reason EXIT_IOIO rip 0xf524a info cf90110 f524b

 qemu-system-x86-2998  [000] 347148.144718: kvm_exit:             reason EXIT_SHUTDOWN rip 0xf524e info 0 0
 qemu-system-x86-2998  [000] 347148.144727: kvm_userspace_exit:   reason KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN (8)
 qemu-system-x86-2993  [003] 347148.144881: kvm_set_irq:          gsi 8 level 0 source 0

so it does look like it's directly after that outb.

   f5243:       ba f9 0c 00 00          mov    $0xcf9,%edx
   f5248:       b0 02                   mov    $0x2,%al
   f524a:       ee                      out    %al,(%dx)
   f524b:       b0 06                   mov    $0x6,%al
   f524d:       ee                      out    %al,(%dx)
   f524e:       cc                      int3

So:
