Installing HAXM on osx Yosemite
Getting IntelHAXM_1.1.1_for_10_9_and_above.dmg from Intels website (https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager) actually solved my issue without the need of setting the boot-args to "kext-dev-mode=1".
I had the same issue. I installed the latest release from Intel (24 Oct) and now it works fine!

NEW: V1.1.1 that can be found here fix the problem
OLD METHOD:
Two fixes were necessary to get this to work.
First, the -b option no longer appears to be correct. Instead use -bundle-id.
Second, if you check in Console.app you will notice
ERROR: invalid signature for com.intel.kext.intelhaxm, will not load
To fix this, you must run sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" and then restart your computer.
In summary:
- Run
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" - Restart.
- Run
sudo kextload -bundle-id com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
Thank you to reddit for the answer.
NOTE: By running sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" you will allow ALL UNSIGNED KEXT to be loaded. Know your system.
