I reopened and assigned rafael to bug 1805256 to re-evaluate this.
I've taken over this bug to push a revert to Bionic asap.
SRU Template added to the bug here.

Since it is a plain revert with no other changes in between this (other
than the changelog) matches the former 1%2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.26.
Therefore I'll skip a review cycle in the Team and directly upload it to
-unapproved for the SRU Team to look at it.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
-  * Despite quite a bunch of regression testing, explicit testing by 
-    different parties and extra time in -proposed the fix to bug 1805256 
-    caused a regression for other configurations.

-  * We will upload version .28 which essentially is a revert of .27 to

-    being forced to rush this cleanup.

  [Test Case]
  
-  * Ensure that the revert really avoids the regression to iothread 
-    handling. Start a guest with virtio-scsi + iothreads.

  </domain>
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
-  * The regression already happened despite all measures. This is just the 
-    revert. So other than any issues creeping in at build time (e.g. 
-    toolchain changes, which I didn't see any) this should eventually match 
-    the former .27

- After a recent upgrade I can't start a Windows 10 VM anymore, QEMU crashes 
with the error message:
+ After a recent upgrade I can't start a Windows 10 VM anymore, QEMU
+ crashes with the error message:
  
  error: Failed to start domain win10
  error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 
qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-v_zvmu/qemu-2.11+dfsg/util/aio-posix.c:592: 
aio_poll: Assertion `in_aio_context_home_thread(ctx)' failed.
  
  I was able to resurrect the VM by removing the iothread-related elements
  from the domain definition:
  
  <domain type='kvm'>
  ...
    <iothreads>1</iothreads>
  ...
     <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>
        <driver iothread='1'/>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' 
function='0x0'/>
     </controller>
  ...
  </domain>
  
  The domain XML is attached.
  
  I'm using virtio-scsi and not virtio-blk because I use trimming to keep
  my QCOW image small(er). Would be great if I could continue to use this
  with iothreads enabled.
