Nothing interesting as far as my semi-trained eye could tell, but I've
included a trimmed-down excerpt from both MountainLion (where it works)
and from Mavericks (where it doesn't) at the very end of this email.

I already have a patch doing just that, which works reliably on UP,
and sometimes even on "-smp 2" :) But that's a post for the KVM list,
as soon as I re-acquaint myself with the parts of KVM I'm touching
(see www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/kvm-mwait-emu-20131213.patch
if you're curious). Just emulating monitor/mwait as NOP works 100% of
the time (and is 100% correct, at the expense of being 100% wasteful
of host CPU cycles). But it allows me to focus on the other moving parts
for now :)

I remember you telling me a bit of that back when I first started.

Do you belive there's a chance we can work around this by just tweaking
ACPI on the QEMU side, and thus eliminate the need for a KVM patch ?

Thanks much,

PS. And now the ioreg output, starting with the working one
from MountainLion:
