Gerd, do you think we should rebuild the iPXE binaries bundled with QEMU with the offending iPXE commit (71560d185475) reverted, at least until KVM gets FXSAVE emulation in big real mode? I think this would be reasonable, as that iPXE commit works around a bug in the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager VMM.

(In other words, the iPXE commit that breaks QEMU's bundled binaries, for a number of KVM users, targets a hypervisor that's different from QEMU/KVM/Xen -- thus normally we wouldn't care about that commit at all.)

Thanks.
