 Hi John, does this happen with the latest upstream kernel version ?
 
 I know for sure it happens with 4.0.4 and I’m not aware of any newer changes 
 that would affect it.--

 Can you reproduce it with 10.1?
 
 I did this:
 
 1) download
 http://download.pcbsd.org/iso/10.1-RELEASE/amd64/PCBSD10.1.2-x64-trueos-server.raw.xz
 and unpack it
 
 2) run it with qemu-kvm -drive
 if=virtio,PCBSD10.1.2-x64-trueos-server.raw -smp 2
 
 3) login as root/pcbsd, type reboot
 
 I would like to know if I'm doing anything wrong.  My machine is a Xeon
 E5 v3 (Haswell).  My SeaBIOS build doesn't have the atkbd0 bug, but just
 to rule that out, can you send me your Seabios binary
 (/usr/share/qemu/bios*.bin) as well?

Interesting. Using the same PC-BSD image I am able to reproduce on a server 
running slightly older software but I can not reproduce running bleeding edge. 
I verified enable_apicv=Y on both. In both cases I ran
qemu-kvm -drive if=virtio,file=PCBSD10.1.2-x64-trueos-server.raw -smp 2 -vnc 
0.0.0.0:0

Specifically:

Breaks (VM hangs during boot after pressing ctrl-alt-del):
kernel 3.12.22
qemu-kvm-1.7.0-3.el6.x86_64
seabios-1.7.3.1-1.el6.noarch
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v2 @ 3.30GHz

Works (VM reboots normally):
kernel 4.0.4
qemu-kvm-2.3.0-6.el7.centos.x86_64
seabios-bin-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.noarch
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz


Unfortunately I no longer have the test environment I used a few days ago to 
reproduce this issue so I can’t verify the software versions that were in use. 
It’s possible I was mistaken about the kernel version (I thought it was 4.0.4). 
Perhaps it really is fixed in the newer kernel? In any case, this is great 
news! I would be interested in identifying the patch(es) that fixed the issue 
to make back-porting them easier, but I won’t have time to do a binary search 
anytime soon.

Thanks for looking in to this again. If anyone else is interested in 
identifying what specifically fixed the issue please let me know if I can do 
anything to help.

 Not yet, sorry.
 
 One possibility is this though.  Can you try migrating (or saving/restoring) 
 the guest when it's hung, and see if it resuscitates?

The guest is still hung after a save/restore.
