Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A bit of searching suggests that VIA Nano was until recently very little tested and supported. The kernels you are working with are rather old compared to upstream. So in order to see whether you should be talking to us or kvm upstream, could you please test this with the latest daily kernel build (see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/daily/current/) and the latest qemu-kvm build (see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-edgers/+archive/server-edgers-qemu- kvm).
