Hi,

I found a regression with pvclock and SMP KVM _guests_.
PVCLOCK enabled guest kernels boot with qemu-kvm.git and with smp=1, but 
with smp=2 halt at:

Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
(last line shown)

I bisected this down to:
commit 489fb490dbf8dab0249ad82b56688ae3842a79e8
Author: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue May 11 12:17:40 2010 -0400

     x86, paravirt: Add a global synchronization point for pvclock

One commit before works, smp=1 always works, disabling PVCLOCK works.
Using qemu-kvm-0.12.4 works, too.
Having PVCLOCK enabled and with smp=2 the kernel halts without any 
further message.
This is still the case with the lastest tip.
Even pinning both VCPU threads to the same host core show the bug.
The bug triggers on all hosts I tested, an single socket quadcore 
Athlon, a dual socket dualcore K8-Opteron and a quad socket 12core Opteron.

Please note that this is the guest kernel, the host kernel does not matter.

I have no idea (and don't feel like ;-) debugging this, so I hope 
someone will find and fix the bug.

Regards,
Andre.
