Thanks Daniel,
after discussing shortly on IRC and checking all the references together:

OTOH 4.13 is still iterating on Artful and should be the only >4.10
kernel available to Xenial eventually.

Since there will be no valid 4.11-4.12 anywhere and in 4.13 this might
actually break any other user of SO_REUSEPORT IMHO it should be fixed in
the kernel to avoid all related regressions instead of tampering over it
in libvirt.

Therefore I'm bumping the Linux kernel bug task.
Prio Crit as we are rather short to the Artful release, but obviously open to 
retriage by the kernel Team.

Title:
  libvirt - vnc port selection regression with newer kernels

Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Bug appears in linux-image-4.11.x kernels on 16.04.3.
  4.8.x and 4.10.x are okay.

  When libvirtd is restarted on Kernel 4.11.0-x-generic or above , it
  loses all information regarding existing port bindings and is unable
  to correctly re-identify vnc ports that currently in use. libvirt
  attempts to bind to an existing port and fails.

  instance-000a6096.log:2017-10-09T01:42:16.017220Z 
  qemu-system-x86_64: -vnc 0.0.0.0:0: Failed to start VNC server: Failed to 
listen on socket: Address already in use

  Fairly certain this is the same bug reported, and patched in
  kernel-4.13.4-200.fc26 for Fedora
