I give it a quick go with qemu 2.1.2 as installed on my laptop, and the
results are interesting:

- With -next as of today, qemu segfaults. Humpffff.

- If I use my branch that contains the EOImode==1 patch, the system
  boots normally.

So there is an interaction between this patch and whatever is in -next
at the moment, but that patch on its own is not what triggers the issue.

I need to build a more recent version of qemu, but the above doesn't
fill be with confidence...

Thanks,
