[libvirt-users] managedsave/start fails because of Q35 UHCI Host Controller

[james harvey]

managedsave/start appears to work, but VM is unusable due to non-stop
repeating uhci_hcd errors.

I can't remove the USB controller from QEMU, but I CAN remove it
through virsh edit.  Doing so eliminates the USB controller in the
guest, preventing non-stop repeating uhci_hcd errors.  (QEMU only lets
you remove the USB redirection entries, which didn't help.)

Using libvirt 1.2.18 (-1 Arch) and QEMU git-master (2.4.0.r40384.2d69736).

Installed using Q35 chipset.

I'm running QEMU git, which allows SCSI controller migration, so I can
attempt doing this.

==========
virsh # managedsave <vmname>

Domain <vmname> state saved by libvirt

virsh # start <vmname>
Domain <vmname> started

{{{ Then, viewing the VM console through QEMU, its screen is extremely
laggy, taking about a minute to fill up the screen with repeating
errors within 0.003 kernel seconds: }}}
