I followed the issue to some extent, IIRC it had something to do with the seabios that is used with qemu. And, since I needed my machines to proper shutdown, I tried that and it worked. > > The fix for this issue went in after 5.5.

Just as a note, I've been doing this since 5.4, and on several machines, with the most varied host/guest configuration, so I can't really say that I didn't tested. It might be unsupported, but it does the job. If the OP follows my advice and it works, better for him. If not, then he can just enable mpbios again on his kernel and try something else.
