It seem that on Ubuntu they reverted the patch  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1612089

I tested on Ubuntu with  14.04 and it working 

ii  ipxe-qemu                           1.0.0+git-20131111.c3d1e78-2ubuntu1.1   all          PXE boot firmware - ROM images for qemu
ii  qemu-keymaps                        2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.22                  all          QEMU keyboard maps
ii  qemu-kvm                            2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.27                  amd64        QEMU Full virtualization
ii  qemu-system-common                  2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.22                  amd64        QEMU full system emulation binaries (common files)
ii  qemu-system-x86                     2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.27 

I also test it with Ubuntu  16.04 and it working.
But on redhat  7.2  I still have the issue.
qemu-img-1.5.3-105.el7_2.7.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.el7.6.x86_64
ipxe-roms-qemu-20160127-1.git6366fa7a.el7.noarch
qemu-common-2.0.0-1.el7.6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-105.el7_2.7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7_2.7.x86_64
I didn't find new packages that revert the patch. Does anyone know what is the plan for RedHat?
