    An update to tell tales of weirdness...

    One of two things did "something":

    1) pkg update in the non-global zone for Openssl & ntp

    2) I attempted to turn off the new CPUID feature in the bios (new from
    2008!) as I didn't know what it was for, with a resultant OmniOS crash
    at startup. So I changed it back. ;)

    One of these two things appears to have helped with kvm startup. Early
    days, sure, but I have restarted three or four times without issue. I'll
    let you know if it decides not to play nice again.
