Hi,
updating from jessie to stretch causes a regression with guests that do
use virtio-net but don't support MSI-X [1], like openbsd 32 bit. There
are no rx interrupts triggered in the guest. A workaround is to disable
vhost.
By testing with vanilla qemu (not the debian packaged version), I have
found that cherry-picking this upstream commit on top of v2.8.1.1 fixes
the problem:

virtio: Fix no interrupt when not creating msi controller
For ARM virt machine, if we use virt-2.7 which will not create ITS node,
the virtio-net can not recieve interrupts so it can't get ip address
through dhcp.
This fixes commit 83d768b(virtio: set ISR on dataplane notifications).

This commit is contained in 2.9. It would be great if that fix could be
added to stretch's qemu, too, so that openbsd 32bit guests (and older
openbsd 64bit guesets) work out of the box again. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Stefan
