Hi ALL:
IO port 0x61 is used by pc speaker and NMI reason port.
This is ambiguous. How to distinguish in QEMU?
I see that NMI reason port is not realized in QEMU.
But linux guest will access this port to determine what the NMI reason code means.
It will access pc speaker's io port. Is this a bug?

Not my area of expertise, but can qemu send NMIs to the guest in the
first place?
cheers,
Gerd

That register is a mess functionality-wise because it serves multiple
hardware units that are at least logically separated - legacy. In QEMU,
the speaker emulation adopted it as it is the only unit that actually
has some functionality behind the bits (see below).

QEMU doesn't generate the kind of NMI events that would normally be
reported via the status bits in port 0x61. Therefore, bits 6 and 7 will
always remain unset for now.

PS: The port name shown in "info mtree" is wrong. Will send a trivial
fix to help identifying the device model behind it.
