I applied the attached patch to KVM-50 and installed XP(SP2) several
times with the following cmd line:

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.img -cdrom Microsoft\
Windows\ XP\ Professional\ \(SP2\).iso -m 512 -no-acpi -boot d

The install freezes on the first reboot after copying files to the
hard drive. If I close the window and re execute the cmd without the
'-boot d' switch the install completes. The only thing in the log is
the following messages(a lot of them):

Fault when IDT_Vectoring
Fault when IDT_Vectoring
Fault when IDT_Vectoring

The above message doesn't seem to happen after the install completes.

I also did several installs without the '-no-acpi' switch. The vm
froze several times during the install, but restarting the vm each
time and the install finally completed. Along with the vectoring
faults the log contained the following msg several times.

apic write: bad size=1 fee00030
Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0
Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0

I continue to get the above msgs with the acpi enabled.

Having said all that, both installs seem to run well. Thank you for the patch.
