I think we should either use the qxl_guest_bug trace point if we want
report this for troubleshooting reasons.  Or simply drop qxl_check_state

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] display/qxl: don't abort on reset with non empty rings

[Alon Levy]

The command ring and cursor rings are pushed to by the guest, and
cleared asynchronously by qemu's spice thread. It is easy to have
them non empty by bad guest behaviour, and we must never abort on bad
guest behaviour.
