Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
I have latest BIOS. Unfortunately I can not find CHANGELOG so I don't know if
G0 steeping (SLAEG) is supported and does what is needed for proper
initialization.

DMI: Apple Computer, Inc. MacPro2,1/Mac-F4208DC8, BIOS    
MP21.88Z.007F.B06.0707021348 07/02/07 

I've got linux early microcode update to update both cpu's:

but problem persists:
[  103.470656] kvm: CPU 0 feature inconsistency!

I will replace one CPU too match steeping of the second one, probably will go
with G0 those are easily available and quiet inexpensive.

Thank you.

PS
IMO we can close this bug
