Hi Guenter,
	With the test suite at
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/x86
and configuration file qemu_x86_pc_nosmp_defconfig, I have
following findings:
1) disabling PCI_MSI, <OK>.
2) manually turning on X86_IO_APIC, <OK>.
3) with 3.16 kernel, disabling PCI_MSI, <OK>
4) with 3.16 kernel, disabling PCI_MSI, enabling X86_UP_APIC, <fail>

So the root cause is that KVM doesn't support the configuration with
LOCAL_APIC enabled but IO_APIC disabled, though this configuration
works with bare-metal machines.
There are two possible solutions here:
1) ALways enalbe IO_APIC if KVM is enabled.
2) Enhance KVM to support LOCAL_APIC when IOAPIC is disabled.

But I'm not familiar with KVM and don't know how to achieve solution 2.
Any suggestions?
Regards!
Gerry
