Ok, so it's probably related to follow ups to the scsi_request split.

That being said, I would highly recommend turning off
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK_SCSI in fedora. The feature has caused more trouble
than it helped with, and should never have been added (saying that as
the person who added it). It was never supported with virtio 1.0 devices
and has been disabled in qemu by default for quite a while.
