Andrey,

Can you please apply only the following attached patch to an upstream
QEMU git tree (move_synchronize_all_states.patch), plus the necessary
header file corrections, and attempt to reproduce?

When you reproduce, please provide a backtrace and version of the QEMU
git tree, and instructions on how to reproduce:

1) full QEMU command line
2) steps to reproduce

move_synchronize_all_states.patch
