Title:
  qemu-system-s390x: no SMP support without KVM

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It seems SMP support is not implemented for s390x target, at least
  when not running under KVM. There is also no error message when
  starting qemu, it just fails when the kernel tries to bring up the
  CPUs:
