Thanks a lot for the report, want to look at it ASAP. 

Do you have after trying to start such a VM a full kernel log as well
from the host please?

Would you have the capacity to do a bisection of the upstream kernels
between 6.1.129 and 6.1.133 (and ideally test the newest 6.1.134 as
well) to identify the breaking commit?

Salvatore
