[libvirt-users] managedsave/start causes IRQ and task blocked for more than 120 seconds errors

[james harvey]

If I manually delete the Q35 USB Controllers, I can use
managedsave/start, but I start getting tty errors that don't happen
before the managedsave/start.

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.

I started my guest, and waited for 15 minutes.  No post-booting
tty1/dmesg messages.

After a managedsave/start, I start getting tty1/dmesg errors.  I can
also no longer ping the guest system.
