One thing I should have mentioned...without this patch
on the host 64-bit guest kernels are currently broken
when using -smp.  Not sure how far back things are broken,
the oldest kernel I had a chance to try was like 3.8-rc3.

It's due to dcbst being used on the spin table, which is treated as  
emulated MMIO under QEMU.
