Incorrect!  Although Ubuntu QA sometimes leaves much to be desired, it 
is actually a bug in your KVM version ;)  You can find details at the

""" 
This bug was fixed in the package kvm - 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu6 

--------------- 
kvm (1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu6) hardy; urgency=low 

  * vmport_save_regs.patch: 
    - Only save and restore eax, ebx, ecx, edx, esi, and edi registers in 
      vmport_ioport_read.
