Well that's sorta the same report, considering you and Gary both work
for SUSE, and the Novell BZ seems to imply the build in question was Gary's:

Hm. LP 1212402 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1212402> probably
concerns the "similar case with kernel < 3.9" mentioned by Gary, and is
likely not revelant here.
Gary & Ludwig, can you confirm that your OVMF build includes SVN r14494?

OvmfPkg/Sec: Build identity mapped pages in RAM for X64
This is based on MdeModulePkg/Core/DxeIplPeim/X64/VirtualMemory.c.
Previously we would run using page tables built into the
firmware device.
If a flash memory is available, it is unsafe for the page
tables to be stored in memory since the processor may try
to write to the page table data structures.
Additionally, when KVM ROM support is enabled for the
firmware device, then PEI fails to boot when the page
tables are in the firmware device.
Thanks
Laszlo
