There is a problem in Windows 2000 guest. In the Device Manager it displays
the first IDE controller as connected to (and belonging to) the PCI chipset.
However, the second IDE controller shows up as being unrelated - like a
plain ol' ISA controller (occupying IRQ 15).
(In Windows-speak the first channel is displayed as "Primary IDE Channel",
hanging off the "82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller". The second one is
listed as top-level "Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller").

Also, there seems to be a problem with the Cirrus emulation. While the PCI
config did display it had reserved 32MB of address space for the chip, the
amount of RAM presented in e.g. Display Properties is only 256KB, allowing a
maximum of 800x600x4bpp (making gfx output not only limited, but also quite
slow).
