With OPENSTEP 4.2 a similar irq hang is happening due to a bug in the
i8259 model which is fixed by the one liner patch referenced here:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-10/msg03329.html
so it's most probably not a BIOS problem. The fix was not merged though
due to some risks with migration and maybe other bugs that could currently
be masked by this one but I don't know if the risks are well understood.
Some discussion can be found in this thread:

Could you please let us know if this fixes the irq timeout you are seeing
with NeXTSTEP too? The dma commands are something else though that may not
be related.
