I wonder if this problem comes from the fact that the intrepid kernel doesn't seem to have upstream commit ca373932 ("x86: KVM guest: Add memory clobber to hypercalls"), which went in just after 2.6.26-rc9. The patch description says:

    Hypercalls can modify arbitrary regions of memory. Make sure to indicate this
    in the clobber list. This fixes a hang when using KVM_GUEST kernel built with
    GCC 4.3.0.
