Checked that on real hardware (DataON CIB-9470V12, E5-2600 V2, C602)
with current hipster:

illumos-6640c13bea i86pc i386 i86pc

qemu-kvm reboots the host immediately. Seems to be a serious bug.
No panic message, just a reboot, starting in dbx looks like this:

ro sunth7 ~ # dbx /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
For information about new features see `help changes'
To remove this message, put `dbxenv suppress_startup_message 7.7' in your .dbxrc
Reading qemu-kvm
Reading ld.so.1
Reading libc.so.1
(dbx) run -m 4g -smp 3 -cdrom /tftpboot/OI-hipster-minimal-20180427.iso
