On Linux I can use it with IRQ 5. I have tried with 10, it also works. 
But Linux != Windows.

So if we disable interrupt, as done with this patch here, it works. This 
was the configuration we had in QEMU 2.3.1 and was reported as working here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1281413

So I would repost the patch with a better description of what we are 
rolling back. Let me know whether you agree. We can then enable the 
interrupt mode in separate patches.
