Hello, goodfellas

I'm seeing a strange problem in our much loved qemu-kvm.git
It's been there before avi left for vacation, at least.

The worst part, is that it doesn't happen always, and I don't
even think it is deterministic in its nature, IOW, there was nothing
I could do to make it more or less likely to happen.

It's almost obviously interrupt related, but I can't determine more than that
As I haven't, and won't have the time to debug this in the near future, here's
the riddle for you all to appreciate:

..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
