[Pretest-users] openindiana images

[Petre Rodan]

Hi,

thanks a bunch for providing the pre-installed openindiana images. 

it took a few hours to set up the networking tho. the OI setup looked fine and 
DHCPDISCOVER packets were sent out via e1000g0, but that same network interface 
was completely unable to receive any packet whatsoever.

after a bit of digging it looks like the x2apic cpu feature needs to be 
disabled in qemu. this fixes the guest networking and the "No SOF interrupts 
have been received" "USB UHCI is unusable" warnings.

see this bug report for details:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1040500#c8

it would be nice if you also provide this fix in your command line builder [1] 
so that others dont waste time on the issue.
