[Bug 1914294] Re: Windows XP displays black screen when smp option is used

[John Arbuckle]

I restarted QEMU without the '-smp 2' option and Windows XP started
working again. The only problem is the host CPU usage will stay at 100%
even with the guest CPU load being close to 0%. The only way to fix this
problem that I know currently is to reinstall Windows XP.
