Hi Sebastian

Please refer to my another patch comment. Basicly, AP is running HLT 
in 0x10038, but it can exit due to some reason, here QEmu want to 
raise it up . But after AP exit from HLT, it can't return to it 
because the code was overrided by grub and no HLT loop there. Then AP 
had gone away...
