One more try ofqemu+Neutrino  
I haven't tried it for a while being discouraged after my first experiments with qemu0.9. Couple of days ago I opened 
qemu.org and found new release 0.10.2. Decided  to try once again. To streamline the way I decided to use Windows front 
end QEMU Manager 6 (dull UI  but saves time). Host OS Windows7RC1, guest -6.4.1M4. Maybe in contrast with frustration I 
felt after the first try now things seem to be much more positive:-).
Installation -good (just no problem, besides known issue with pci which can be easy fixed).
Networking - not bad. I had Internet immediately after the first reboot. To run debug session via qconn turned out to be
 a bit more complicated (just because of my stupidity :-) Not necessary to install tap any more.
Host disk space sharing - good (without problem I connected shared host folder as extra hard drive).
HID - not so good, but acceptable (or near that). Actually keyboard & mouse worked much better than before and than on 
SUN VM (just terrible experience). Feel a bit shame about that:-)
Performance. I didn't test it specially. At least system response fast enough to be  not annoying. I didn't used 
accelerator KQEMU. Computer Intel quad 6400 8gb ram, NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT.
Graphics. I didn't find at the first glance any problem with Photon.

Conclusion. At last it can be used. Or sort of...

If you use an updated bios.boot (from 6.4.0 or later) you shouldn't have an issue with pci-bios anymore.

See PR57626 for details...

Re: One more try ofqemu+Neutrino  
I used 6.4.1, so your changes should be there. Maybe I misinterpreted the connection failure and fixed the wrong cause. 
At the same time with "fixing" of pci problem, I changed Realtec 8139 to Ne2000. which probably helped. Maybe I'll try 
default boot in combination with Ne2000 to prove that it works.
