Thanks Marcelo (and Alberto) for pointing me at this.

I'd be willing to take a stab at a better fix.  Is there any
documentation about the lsi microcode engine anywhere?  Would the right
fix to be to detect the busy loop on CPU memory and return from
lsi_execute_script() in that case?

BTW I tried using if=ide to install Windows XP and got a blue screen
during the installer.  What are people doing to run XP in a kvm guest?
