Hi Avi,

I've a problem with the last qemu-cvs merge into kvm-userspace: Booting
the RHEL kernel 2.6.18-53.el5 in with more than one VCPU gives me

...

CPU: L2 cache: 2048K
QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1 stepping 03

I suspect that is due to some lost features or regression around cpuid
after the kvm merge into qemu, but I can't bisect in that reagion. Any
ideas? Further info needed? Just let me know.
