Cloned to get z-stream BZ.

Uh.. isn't this a dupe of bug 1550136, itself an existing qemu-kvm-ma dupe of bug 1545016?

Comment 4 David Gibson 2018-03-08 00:24:41 UTC
Actually, this problem probably shouldn't even occur on qemu-kvm-ma, since that doesn't support memory hotplug, which is the use case for HPT resizing.  In theory you can trigger the bug by manually performing a resize, but I'm assuming that's not something we support.
