FWIW, I'm seeing the same issue with qemu 2.6.2 and 2.8.0 on Fedora 24
and rawhide respectively. 

I also notice that CONFIG_X86_PAE is turned off in the defconfig. If
I set CONFIG_HIGHMEM_64G which turns on CONFIG_X86_PAE the problem
goes away. I can't tell if this is an indication of magically hiding
the TLB problem or if there is an issue with !X86_PAE invalidation.


Thanks,
