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. + * 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 - provide us the time to revisit the fix for bug 1805256 again and not - being forced to rush this cleanup. - + * We will upload version .28 which essentially is a revert of .27 to + provide us the time to revisit the fix for bug 1805256 again and not + being forced to rush this cleanup.

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. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy qemu-kvm qemu-kvm: Installiert: 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.27 Installationskandidat: 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.27 Versionstabelle: *** 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.27 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.26 500 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: qemu-kvm 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.27 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-108.109-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-108-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.15 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Jun 28 13:05:17 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-10-03 (268 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) KvmCmdLine: COMMAND STAT EUID RUID PID PPID %CPU COMMAND MachineType: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
