  Driver (kvm) installed.

  kvm 264

Systems hangs shortly after reboot. Sadface.

It may be related to Sandy Bridge, though my SmartOS boxes usually took a bit
longer than ~30s to hang themselves.

Will try to get this into /etc/system

  set pcplusmp:apic_timer_preferred_mode=0

to see if that fixes it.
