+x86 pause misbehaves with -cpu haswell
+
+Using qemu-2.9.0
+
+When booting NetBSD using '-cpu haswell -smp 4', the system fails to initialize the additional CPUs.  It appears as though the "application processor" enters routine x86_pause() but never returns.  
+
+x86_pause() is simply two assembler instructions: 'pause; ret;'
+
+Replacing the routine with 'nop; nop; ret;' allows the system to proceed, of course without the benefit of the pause instruction on spin-loops!
+
+Additionally, booting with '-cpu phenom -smp 4' also works, although the system does seem confused about the type of CPU being used.
