This breaks "-icount auto" on qemu-system-aarch64 with "-M virt" and
AAVMF firmware, in two ways:

1) "-icount auto" doesn't work;

2) "-icount auto -accel tcg,thread=single" hangs fairly early, printing
this on the serial console.  It's okay if it hangs at

[Bds]=============End Load Options Dumping=============
[Bds]BdsWait ...Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
[Bds]BdsWait(3)..Zzzz...

(pressing Enter a few times then seems to unhang it), but it now hangs
much earlier than that.


Also, x86 "-accel tcg,thread=multi" prints the scary message on memory
ordering.
