OK, this seems to be the i82801b11-bridge; if I remove it from the config
it all works.

My minimum config that fails so far is:
/opt/qemu-head/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -machine pc-q35-2.6,accel=kvm,usb=off,vmport=off -cpu SandyBridge -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 \
 -device i82801b11-bridge,id=pci.1,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x1e \
 -drive id=image,file=/home/vms/f23-serial.qcow2,if=none,cache=none \
 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.1,addr=0x5,drive=image,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 \
 $*

if I flip the i82801b11-bridge for a pci-bridge  then it works.
