The host where the problem doesn't happen runs Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel
4.15.0-58-generic and qemu-kvm 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.41

My work desktop is running on Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 5.0.0-25-generic
and qemu-kvm 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.17

The Oracle Bare Metal host is running Ubuntu 18.04 (minimal install)
with kernel 4.15.0-1025-oracle and qemu-kvm 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.18

The RHEL4 guest runs kernel 2.6.9-67.ELsmp

I tested two additional VMs, this time they are on Ubuntu 8.04 with
kernel 2.6.24-32.  One exhibits a similar issue, but the other one
doesn't.

VMs running more recent Ubuntu releases and even Windows 7 guests do not
exhibit this problem.  So it is likely because of the old kernel version
being incompatible with the newer ACPI tables qemu provides.  :(

Unfortunately, I cannot migrate the apps running in these VMs to a more
recent RHEL release. :(

Is there a way to provide these guests with old kernel the older SDT's?
