It looks like virtio-pci is entirely broke in qemu-system-arm, at least in tcg
mode running on x86. The guest (current linux system) just does not detect
any virtio-pci devices at all.
When 8.1 is booting, the following messages are displayed (debian initramfs):
Loading, please wait...
Starting systemd-udevd version 255-1
[ 6.455941] virtio-pci 0000:00:01.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0103)
[ 6.929155] virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0103)
[ 7.764652] virtio_blk virtio1: 2/0/0 default/read/poll queues
[ 7.783216] virtio_blk virtio1: [vda] 2097026 512-byte logical blocks (1.07
GB/1024 MiB)
[ 8.636453] virtio_net virtio0 enp0s1: renamed from eth0
But when 8.2 is booting, it ends up at:
Loading, please wait...
Starting systemd-udevd version 255-1
..and nothing. here it waits for the root fs to appear, and drops into the
shell

target/arm: Do all "ARM_FEATURE_X implies Y" checks in post_init
Reverting this commit on top of 8.2.0 (or current qemu master)
makes things works again.
It's interesting how we missed this out entirely, as it's been applied
at the beginning of 8.2 development cycle, it's 228th commit after
8.1.0.
It looks like we've quite a bit more regressions like this in 8.2.0.. :(
