Thank you for the report.

I'm not able to trigger it in my environment. Tried v4.17.3 and current
Linus' tree.

I had to change config slightly to get kernel build in my setup. Diff is
below.

I run KVM this way:

qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic -append "console=ttyS0"

Could you check if you can trigger the issue with my changes to config and
the way I run KVM?

If not, what the key difference in our setups that make the issue visible?

How do you run KVM? Do you have EFI enable? Config difference?
Running kernel directly, without GRUB makes a difference?
