Argh, sorry, I threw that patch together a bit too quickly. I was just
so pumped because I believed I had solved the issue hehe.

Are you missing the ioeventfd=on and irq-eventfd=on parameters by any

qemu-system-x86_64: ../hw/pci/msix.c:119: msix_fire_vector_notifier: Assertion 
`ret >= 0' failed.
