Avi,
I'm getting the following panic very early on boot on a F16 VM (latest
qemu.git head 40897c9):
[ 0.068018] Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC
unexpected (-1 vs 0)

After some debugging and I found out that this only happens when '-cpu host'
is passed, and according to git bisect it's caused by the following commit:
commit 66e3dd9282141b5ae75637c9676002cf3ceeb988
Author: Avi Kivity <a...@redhat.com>

i386: derive '-cpu host' from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
Not sure if this is important, but here's procinfo information about
one of my host's cpus:
