That is a truly impressive command line, BTW.

So, I couldn't get this to fail on my older AMD machine at all with
the default SeaBIOS code. But, when I change the code with the patch
below, it failed right away.
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure

And the failed debug output looks like:
SeaBIOS (version rel-1.8.0-7-gd23eba6-dirty-20150311_121819-morn.localdomain)
[...]
cmos_smp_count0=20
[...]
cmos_smp_count=1
cmos_smp_count2=1/20
Found 1 cpu(s) max supported 20 cpu(s)
I'm going to check the assembly for a compiler error, but is it
possible QEMU is returning incorrect data in cmos index 0x5f?
David, any chance you can recompile seabios and double check your
output?
