That's what I thought, but as I reported a few days ago, I couldn't
find a good value for icount when using OBP.
I tried a few values but keep getting "qemu: fatal: Raised interrupt
while not in I/O function".
Also I got a report from other person where qemu crashed with another
message: "qemu: fatal: Trap 0x29 while interrupts disabled".
What could be a good value for -icount? Is it host-cpu specific? Isn't
it a bug that qemu crashes [at least] on some icount values?
