The feedback was to only use flash mode only when -pflash is used, and to bail if pflash+kvm is used with an old kernel. If -pflash is not specified, then rom-mode is used, and qemu will behave as in <= pc-1.1. This was implemented in v2 and carried forward to the current v3: git://github.com/jljusten/qemu.git kvm-flash-v3 -Jordan
