I should have a qemu image running before the end of the week based on 
the latest Archlinux 64 packages. Then, I'll install the 3.14 kernel 
and see what I'll get.

By the way, since kernel 3.14 is now available, it has been pushed to 
Arch's repository. It will be deployed soon on many systems when 
they'll be updated. As you may have seen from the latest comments in 
bug 72061, another Arch user has reported today encountering the same 
problem as myself.
