Is there still anything left to do here, or could we close this bug ticket nowadays?

Enabling any one of them results in the above behavior. This problem is only seen with OVMF, removing the loader and nvram directives below allows all Hyper-V enlightenments to be enabled, with or without a virtio NIC. <domain type='kvm'> <name>win7-ovmf-demo</name> <uuid>a42b96e9-e95d-42c6-9f4a-0236f3d38d95</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/win7-ovmf-demo_VARS.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='off'/> <vapic state='off'/> <spinlocks state='off'/> </hyperv> </features> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> <timer name='hypervclock' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <pm> <suspend-to-mem enabled='no'/> <suspend-to-disk enabled='no'/> </pm> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/MSDN/en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:9b:49:b9'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='e1000'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <video> <model type='vga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> </domain> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1456819/+subscriptions
