My experience so far:

On 32-bit Intel host, lapic fails to link due to missing 64bit
division. I tried the attached patch to fix the build, but Windows
XP froze before showing the booting screen. With -no-kvm-irqchip
they work, except the IE plugins like Flash & Java, which are broken
since kvm-29. With -no-kvm, qemu-system-x86_64 segfaults immediately.
