Hello,

When i try to run FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd on more than 1 vcpu in 
quemu-kvm (Fedora Core 17) eg. with:

qemu-kvm -m 1024m -cpu host -smp 2 -cdrom 
/storage/iso/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso

it freezes KVM with:

KVM internal error. Suberror: 1

This also applies to FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-amd64 and FreeBSD-9.1-RC3-amd64 
(other releases not tested).

When quemu-kvm is started without SMP (1 vpcu) amd64 FreeBSD kernel 
boots correctly. I did not notice this problem for the i386 versions 
(FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386, FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386, FreeBSD-9.1-RC3-i386).
