qemu boot stuck for several minutes, then guest can bootup normally, 
just slower.

If no ACPI, qemu boot quickly without stuck.
build/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine 
virt,gic-version=3,iommu=smmuv3 \
-enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 \
-kernel Image -initrd mini-rootfs.cpio.gz -nographic -append \
"rdinit=init console=ttyAMA0 earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 kpti=off"

Adding acpi=force & -bios QEMU_EFI.fd, qemu boot stuck for several minutes.


By the way, my hardware platform is aarch64.

Only change this can solve the stuck issue.

Do you mean "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger",
There are too much output and kernel dump can not stop.
