The faulting address ends in 0x16, so the access is to the QueueSelect
field in VIRTIO_PCI_COMMON_CFG. This is a UINT16 field, so the access
should be 16-bit not 32-bits wide.

Could you dump the instructions leading up to the first
Virtio10Transfer() call in Virtio10SetQueueNotify()? (from
Build/ArmVirtQemu-AARCH64/DEBUG_GCC49/AARCH64/OvmfPkg/Virtio10Dxe/Virtio10/DEBUG/Virtio10.dll)

    2280:       aa0103e5        mov     x5, x1
    2284:       d2800044        mov     x4, #0x2                        // #2
    2288:       d28002c3        mov     x3, #0x16                       // #22
    228c:       52800002        mov     w2, #0x0                        // #0
    2290:       aa0003e1        mov     x1, x0
    2294:       aa0603e0        mov     x0, x6
    2298:       97fffcf3        bl      1664 <Virtio10Transfer>

If the size is passed correctly here, we'll have to track down how the
call gets routed to Mmio32Write instead of Mmio16Write(). Do you have
any patches on top of edk2-stable-201905 ?
