a vcpu exit causes kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() to run, which does
a bitblt, which is cirrus_do_copy(), which goes to vga_hw_update, which
does vga_update_display(), which calls
qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer(), which is not reentrant.

It's easy to make qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer reentrant:

  if (s->coalesced_flush_in_progress) {
      return;
  }

it isn't very pretty and is also a lie.  Other ideas?

I'll probably commit this soon to avoid the regression, to be replaced
by a better fix when we find it.
