Can you test this QEMU patch that's already in qemu.git for 4.1: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=3412d8ec9810b819f8b79e8e0c6b87217c876e32 Alternatively, setting the pci-hole64-size=0 can also avoid this issue: -global i440FX-pcihost.pci-hole64-size=0 or -global q35-host.pci-hole64-size=0 depending on your VM machine type.
