Just an additional comment, running qemu-kvm with a 3part image (kernel, initramfs and disk) does not yield a crash on 4.8 kernel, even when enabling vhost. Similarly, running a guest with AAVMF and no vhost behaves ok, it's the combination of the two that didn't work no matter what guest, FW or AAVMF binaries we tried.
