This patch addresses the issue fully described here: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-02/msg01804.html Linux kernels prior to 2.6.36 do not disable the PCI device during enumeration process. Since lower and higher parts of a 64bit BAR are programmed separately this leads to qemu receiving a request to occupy a completely wrong address region for a short period of time. We have found that the boot process screws up completely if kvm-apic range is overlapped even for a short period of time (it is fine for other regions though). This patch raises the priority of the kvm-apic memory region, so it is never pushed out by PCI devices. The patch is quite safe as it does not touch memory manager.
