Thanks,
There's actually one way to slightly remedy this single case, mostly for any QEMU 7.1.0 user with -smp <=8 and the intel iommu (as 77250171bdc02 is merged only in 7.1.0). We can have one compact parameter x-eim-enable-kvm-x2apic, setting it "on" by default, "off" for 7.1, and "on" for 7.0-. I'm not very sure whether that'll worth it. Any thoughts? -- Peter Xu
