Following your suggestion, i'm now sure it is caused by missing SMI.
I have tried adding dprintf() like this:
--- a/roms/seabios/src/fw/smm.c
+++ b/roms/seabios/src/fw/smm.c
@@ -65,7 +65,8 @@ handle_smi(u16 cs)

And the failed case log output like this:
2016-08-03 16:23:15PCI: Using 00:02.0 for primary VGA
2016-08-03 16:23:15smm_device_setup start

2016-08-03 16:23:15after SMI=====
So, it's obviously that after outb(0x01, PORT_SMI_STATUS), bios does not
handle_smi, so PORT_SMI_STATUS is always 0x01. What's more, when this
problem happens, rebooting vm cannot restore it any more. My vm is always
stuck at the same place until i destroy it.
And I have already tried kernel commit c43203cab1e which still can not
solve this problem.
Any idea, Kevin and Paolo?
