I thinked that you had switch from qemu64 to kvm64 because of cpu family,model,stepping values ?
I don't known if

I check between both in cpu.c

difference are

qemu64
------
        .level = 4,
        .vendor = CPUID_VENDOR_AMD,
        .family = 6,
        .model = 6,
        .stepping = 3,

     .features[FEAT_8000_0001_ECX] =
            CPUID_EXT3_LAHF_LM | CPUID_EXT3_SVM |
            CPUID_EXT3_ABM | CPUID_EXT3_SSE4A,

kvm64
-----
        .level = 5,
        .vendor = CPUID_VENDOR_AMD,
        .family = 15,
        .model = 6,
        .stepping = 1,


So qemu64  have more features, but kvm64 have newer cpu definition.

Don't known what is better for windows 8.1?

I am not sure why we want to modify well defined CPU feature sets? Instead, we can simply use 
'qemu64' for win 8.1?
