[vfio-users] Radeon R9 290 passthrough to Win10 guest - bsod/reboot on driver install

I have tried both i440FX and Q35. Both seem to produce the same result. 
Q35 seems to reboot/crash earlier than i440FX, i.e. already during 
driver extraction before the installation begins. As a matter of fact 
the Q35 install is not stable at all, it reboots/crashes after roughly 
1min no matter what I do (idle on desktop, at login screen, installing 
driver, etc.).

To answer a question by Quentin which went to me directly instead of the 
list:

What do you mean if Radeon was loaded before switching to vfio-pci?

First I configured my host to make vfio-pci claim the radeon card as 
described here (/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf with IDs to be claimed): 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#vfio-pci

Then I install Windows 10 using virt-manager and its provided display 
(SPICE/VNC). Once the system is configured with an VNC server (or 
Synergy for sharing mouse/keyboard) I shutdown, remove all SPICE/VNC 
adapters, add my Radeon gpu and boot the guest again. This time the 
graphics output appears on the monitor connected to the Radeon GPU, and 
I would expect that I could just install the Radeon driver at this 
point, but apparently not.

I haven't tried installing Windows with the Radeon GPU passed through 
during installation, I will try that next.
