Hmm.. QEMM talks to the keyboard controller to toggle the A20 gate,
and perhaps this interferes with the Turbo-Mode bit, also  toggled
via the keyboard controller.  If this is a problem, then move the 
motherboard jumper that disabled keyboard speed changing.  I doubt that
you actually use it anyway.
