Description
When booting Windows 8.1 with patched ntoskrnl/winload, or with PAE/NX bits enabled in the CPUID, the system halts and I get this error.
But it works just fine in QEMU:
`qemu-system-x86_64 -hda 8.1.img -m 1G -M accel=hvf --cpu host,-pae,-nx`

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 8.1 boot with patched ntoskrnl/winload or with PAE/NX enabled, using the reported QEMU command as the comparison case. Use the displayed RangeError and call stack to locate the failing emulator path; done means the system no longer halts under the reported configuration while the existing QEMU comparison remains useful.
