But wasn't the breakage this fixes only added in qemu 4.0?
He reports his change is from qemu 2.10 to 2.11.

Unfortunately 2bbadb08 doesn't have a "fixes" line, maybe Ubuntu has
something backported that makes the Ubuntu 2.11 being affected by it.
I checked the Delta but there was nothing related backported that I
could identify.

But I agree, that first of all this should be a new bug instead of
reviving the old one here.

Bug description:
  We upgraded the libvirt UCA packages from 3.6 to 4.0 and qemu 2.10 to 2.11  
as part of a queens upgrade and noticed that
  virtio-ballon is broken when instances live migrate (started with a prior 3.6 
version)  with:

  At this point the instances would have to be hard rebooted or
  stopped/started to fix the issue for future live migration attemps
