Yes, I start qemu as:

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda wheezy.img -net
user,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -net nic -nographic -kernel
arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda debug
earlyprintk=serial slub_debug=UZ" -enable-kvm -m 2G -numa
node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 -smp
sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -usb -usbdevice mouse -usbdevice tablet
-soundhw all
