The "Pentium Processor Family Developer's Manual, Volume 3: Architecture
and Programming Manual" says the following in Chapter 19.3:
"APIC IS SUPPORTED ONLY ON PENTIUM PROCESSOR (735\90, 815\100,
1000\120, 1110\133) AND FUTURE PROLIFERATIONS AND UPGRADES."
So it seems not all pentium cpus have an apic. No clue which model and stepping
those are so can't compare to what qemu claims to provide.
