Just checked the Ubuntu update repo. The latest kernel version there 2.6.35-25.44 has included the fix. Thanks!

SRU Justification: Impact: Users cannot boot KVM guests on i386 hosts 2. How bug addressed: The upstream commit at http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg40800.html fixed it 3. Patch: A kernel patch is attached to this bug. 4. Reproduce: boot an i386 kernel on a kvm-capable host. Try to boot a kvm guest. 5. Regression potential: since this is cherrypicking a commit from a future upstream which had already been changed, regression is possible. However if there is a regression, it should only affect users of KVM on i386 hosts, which currently fail anyway.
