Please shorten the subject line:

I suggest:

  [PATCH] target-i386: fix "info lapic" segfault on isapc

The commit message (subject line) should be a short summary of the
patch.  Typically this is below 80 or even 72 characters.  Details go in
the commit description (email body before '---'), which can be
arbitrarily long.  Please move the command-line for reproducing the
segmentation fault into the commit description.

Please don't add extra tags to the Subject line unless you're sure they
are commonly used in QEMU (e.g. "[Bugfix:isapc lapic state]] Bugfix:
isapc:apic_state").

Did you test this code?

The dereference one line above will still cause a segfault:

  uint32_t *lvt = s->lvt;  <--- s is NULL!
