For qemu before 1.5, I needed to revert
f9b71fef12f0d6ac5c7051cfd87f7700f78c56b6 to get SCSI working again.
I've attached my .config. I launch with:

sudo qemu-system-arm -nographic -m 256 -M versatilepb \
    -kernel $HOME/Code/linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage \
    -drive file=$DIR/vda.qcow2,if=scsi,format=qcow2 \
    -net nic,vlan=0 -net
tap,vlan=0,script=$HOME/kvm/kvm-ifup,downscript=$HOME/kvm/kvm-ifdown,ifname=tap-$IMG
\
    -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:8087,server,nowait \
    -append "loglevel=8 debug root=/dev/sda1 slub_debug=FZ console=ttyAMA0 $@"

I can send the if-up/down scripts if you want them too.
