The bug has been fixed; revisoion
5928023cef87847a295035487397b9ec701fdd6b is still broken, but
dbd99ae302be8f51b547fb6283c91d0c9859b7d5 works. I haven't determined
which of the commits inbetween fixed it, but the BIOS update of
15faf946f7a17a5fab0d05a2312d43249d81af3 seems like a likely candidate.

Title:
NetBSD/i386 6.0 guest suffers interrupt storm since qemu BIOS update
Status in QEMU:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Since the pc-bios update of qemu commit
d7a51dbbaa70677846453f8c961590913052dd86, booting a NetBSD/i386 guest
takes a very long time, apparently due to interrupt load.
For example, booting the NetBSD/i386 6.0 serial console install CD
with
wget
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.0/i386/installation/cdrom/boot-com.iso
qemu-system-i386 -nographic -cdrom boot-com.iso
used to take less than a minute, but now takes more like ten minutes
to enter the "sysinst" installer; it's so slow that at first I thought
it had hung. If I then exit the installer and type "vmstat -i", it
shows a high interrupt rate on ioapic0 pin 9:
# vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
cpu0 timer 336942 102
ioapic0 pin 9 256791232 78052
ioapic0 pin 1 1 0
ioapic0 pin 15 345 0
ioapic0 pin 4 102 0
ioapic0 pin 6 1 0
Total 257128623 78154
According to dmesg, this is the piixpm0 device:
# dmesg
[...]
piixpm0 at pci0 dev 1 function 3: vendor 0x8086 product 0x7113 (rev. 0x03)
timecounter: Timecounter "piixpm0" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000
piixpm0: 24-bit timer
piixpm0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 9
[...]
Versions of qemu lacking commit
d7a51dbbaa70677846453f8c961590913052dd86 do not have this problem.
