Attached is a configuration that I use on a x86-64 VM for testing that 
is started with:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
         -s \
         -cpu "max" \
         -smp 4 \
         -kernel ~/dev/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
         -device pci-bridge,id=pci_bridge1,bus=pci.0,chassis_nr=1 \
         -drive 
file=debian.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device 
virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 
\
         -nographic \
         -append "root=/dev/vda1 console=ttyS0,115200 mitigations=off" \
         -net nic,model=e1000 -net tap,ifname=tap0

...
