This patch has a problem on v6.8 kernel. Pierre-Eric of AMD found that
Qemu crashes with "kvm bad address" error when booting Ubuntu 23.10 ISO
with a disabled virtio-gpu and I was able to reproduce it. Pierre-Eric
said this problem didn't exist with v6.7 kernel and using v10 kvm
patches. Could you please take a look at this issue?

To reproduce the bug, run Qemu like this and load the Ubuntu installer:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom ubuntu-23.10.1-desktop-amd64.iso -m
4G --enable-kvm -display gtk -smp 1 -machine q35

Qemu fails with "error: kvm run failed Bad address"

On the host kernel there is this warning:
