YES!!!
I made the edits in that patch, recompiled "BIOS-bochs-latest"
(as included within kvm-75/bios), still also using the latest
gPXE, instead of the kvm distributed etherboot, and the f12 is

This is a confirmantion of the bug report 1791448, but with kvm-39, fc-7 x86_64, 2.6.23.6 (kernel.org kernel). Again reverting back to kvm-33, fc-7 x86_64, 2.6.22.1 (kernel.org kernel), which I find usable for smp guests.
