Good day.

As of Qemu 0.8.0[0] does it support SMP. When trying to boot Plan 9 on it,
with two processors, then there appears the message:

	panic: lapic clock faster than cpu clock

After removing that check and with 255 processors did it only find 8 cpus
and dumpstack because of divide errors.

The apic clock problem seems to be Qemu[1], because I still want a 42Ghz
cpu in userspace.

Sincerely,

Christoph
