Glad to hear I'm not alone. My Linux guests are also playing up, but much more intermittently. I rolled back the qemu and KVM packages to oi151.1.2 and it's all working gain. (I preferred to not rollback some zones that had also been updated)

I've filed a bug and noted about going bak to earlier version of qemu here:
