I've been trying to get WinPE to boot correctly as a KVM guest. I've 
found that WinPE > 4.0 (aka server 2012) will boot fine in KVM, but 
older versions will not.  I only see this issue if the HyperV 
enlightenments are enabled.

A screenshot of the crash can be found at:

Host:
CentOS 6 x64
3.10.9-1.el6.x86_64
qemu 1.6.0
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name SRVID4538 -S -machine 
pc-i440fx-1.6,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu 
host,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_spinlocks=0x1000 -m 8192 -smp

-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5

If I change '-cpu host,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_spinlocks=0x1000' to '-cpu 
host', WinPE boots up fine.

Is this a bug in KVM?  I'm not really sure what other information would 
be helpful here.
