Actually KVM will also be broken, I sent a patch for it but there is 
some discussion of fixing it a different way. So maybe leave out the
maxsmp patch for now (or make it depend on BROKEN?). I can re-send
maybe next merge window if the other pieces are in place.

If you could still take that ^^ patch for now would be good though.

Thanks,
Nick
