Upgrade.  I'm not sure where you're getting this QEMU 2.0.0 version,
the qemu-kvm-ev package in CentOS 7.3 should be at least 2.6 based to
align with qemu-kvm-rhev in RHEL 7.3.  There were some 64bit BAR fixes
in QEMU, they happened 3 years ago, your QEMU is based on a 4 year old
version and a "-1" doesn't imply that it's keeping anything updated.
The qemu-kvm-ev package for 7.3 should already include these fixes.
Thanks,

Alex
