Hi,
Unfortunately I'm not sure what the issue is. This is an early
virtio-pci register access before a driver for any specific device type
(net, blk, vhost-user, etc) comes into play.

Did you test the git trees linked below or did you rebase the commits
on top of your own QEMU tree?

Is your guest kernel a stock kernel.org/distro kernel or has it been
modified (especially with security patches)?

If no one else knows what is wrong here then it will be necessary to
check the Intel manuals to figure out the exact meaning of
"error_code(0x000b) - reserved bit violation" and why Linux triggers it
with "PGD 3b128067 P4D 3b128067 PUD 3b129067 PMD 3b12a067 PTE
8000002000000073".
