I also installed Windows 2000 Server virtual machines with ACPI enabled on
Debian Squeeze with Xen 3.2.1 and KVM 85, no problem.
So the attached patch should be applied to virtinst to:
- Enable ACPI and APIC for Windows XP
- Enable ACPI and APIC for Windows 2000
- Merge Windows XP x86 and x86_64 variants because there is no more reason to
have different variants for the same OS
