while investigating the revert of "fix sci irq set when acpi timer" I discovered the reason. Please also re-revert the original patch. Thanks, Dor

[PATCH] Don't quit IO thread before all lvcpus stopped
Call pause_all_threads() before exiting the i/o thread
main loop.
This scenario happened on system_powerdown request:
The vcpu eventually makes pm_ioport_writew (soft power off)
access that calls qemu_system_shutdown_request.
It causes the i/o thread to exit although the vcpu did not
exit yet.
One of the symptoms is that vcpu may trigger timers thus
causing a segfault since the i/o thread stopped the timer.
[This is what happened on the sci irq timer, now there is no
need to revert it[
