[Qemu-devel] about the 'mptable' issue

[Li, Liang Z]

Hi Kevin,

We just found when starting QEMU with the '-smp 20 -no-acpi' option,  the 
centos6.6 or rhel 7.2 guest failed to boot. By debugging,
I found it's your seabios patch, the commit id '9ee2e26255661a'  caused the 
failure.

I don't know what issue your patch tried to fix, assuming it's the right fix, 
should we add some prompt  to prevent users from using such an option?
Crash the guest is not a good choice.
