yes, the 3.6 kernel has KMS support for cirrus vga, which qemu
emulates. It is actually an annoyance for me as it breaks
qemu -curses. I can workaround by entering 'grsec cirrus.modeset=0' at
boot prompt.

I am considering setting modeset=0 in default /etc/modprobe.d/kms.conf
since I would expect that qemu alpine linux users would not be
interested in graphics.
