Triaging old bug tickets ... can you still reproduce this issue with the latest version of QEMU and the kernel?

Status in QEMU: Incomplete Bug description: The virtual machine is running block layer workloads, interrupted by unclean reboots (echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger). Kernel version is 3.14. Sometimes, I get this message on boot: "virtio_blk virtio3: requests:id 0 is not a head!" Then, I/O to the virtio block devices just hangs. Unfortunately I don't have a test case and this is kind of hard to reproduce, but it seems related to having I/O in flight when the kernel is forced to reboot.
