I think this one is not directly related to the fix, but can be removed
because wait_for_io_cmd_user(qdev, val, port, false); will call
wait_event_timeout() which cannot return ERESTARTSYS? Or was this loop
causing issues too?

My understanding is that the fix is this hunk? If so, this could be made
more obvious with an intermediate commit adding the 'bool intr' arg to
qxl_io_update_area and only calling it with 'true' in the appropriate
places.
This code path is only triggered from qxl_surface_evict() which I assume
is not necessarily easily interruptible, so this change makes sense to
me. However it would be much better to get a review from Dave Airlie ;)
