Note: prealloc=yes is a bad choice in this environment. It

hugetlbfs? I hope so.
Is this something that should be addressed on qemu side? Since I'm
writing a follow up patches for libvirt I can forbid this combination in
libvirt.
I'll try reproducing upstream and send a BUG report upstream, ccing you. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
