+No interrupts are delivered to the guest after rebooting Windows 98
+Description of problem:
+After Windows 98 is rebooted in QEMU, the guest freezes: the system is unresponsive to key presses and the boot splash animation halts.  The guest performs fine before the reboot.
+
+Closer examination reveals that no hardware interrupts are delivered to the guest.  BIOS Data Area variables like the keyboard buffer and the system clock are not updated.  Even non-maskable interrupts fail to be delivered, as witnessed by installing an option ROM that hooks interrupt vector 2 and issuing the `nmi` command in the monitor.
+
+The only remedy seems to be to exit the QEMU process entirely and launch it again.
+Steps to reproduce:
+0. Install Windows 98 into the guest.  (Since the normal installation process already involves a couple of reboots, it is possible to hit the issue already at step zero.)
+1. Boot it; it may be into Safe Mode, but the protected-mode graphical environment must at least attempt to load.  (I managed sometimes to reproduce the bug without the system having loaded fully.)
+2. Reboot. This may be a clean reboot, or it may be a hard reboot (`system_reset` or equivalent)
+3. Observe the system freeze.
+Additional information:
+None
