I did a clean install and didn't change it over to StandardPC.  The Control 
Panel says "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" or something like that (recalling from memory 
right now).  As a third datapoint, I am seeing the TPR changing rapidly (which 
I would expect 0 changes if the ACPI stuff was disabled).

Yeah, this is fixed in my latest code which I will send out soon.  I actually 
added a "light_mmio" and "apic_mmio" stat so we can tell the difference.  I 
left mmio_exits to count the ones that go to userspace.
