Hi Benjamin,

I noticed that your log did not have "Hypervisor detected: KVM" in the trace. The KVM options in your script also differ substantially from the ones shown at the end of your trace...

Sorry.. We tried to provide a simplified reproduce script and in your
case, it has a significant mismatch with the real KVM options. We'll
fix it, thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks,
Fengguang
