On my workstation with old AMD X4 605e CPU I also get a bunch of panic messages when trying to boot from the Solaris ISO. Tried it with virt-manager with OS family Solaris under Fedora 19.
It seems that Solaris has issues with KVM and AMD CPUs. Sadly I don't have enough time to investigate this further :(
I can confirm that the Solaris 11 iso also fails (panic) on my Opteron G3 cluster (Opteron 8354 cpus). Tried with and without: - nested virt extensions. - realtek or e1000 nic - memory balloon I also tried the workaround as mentioned in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27307/html/vmrns-bugs.html#idp1175312 no luck. Looks like a kvm-on-amd bug.
