If kernel/qemu-kvm update didn't help, then the device probably doesn't support the interrupt disable mechanism that allows shared interrupts. Therefore the device needs to be on an exclusive interrupt on the host. Look in /proc/interrupts and see what else is on the same interrupt line. Your output below indicates the device is on IRQ 11. Sometimes moving the device to a different physical slot will change the IRQ and give you an exclusive interrupt, otherwise you need to find the devices sharing that interrupt line and disable them by attaching the device to pci-stub.
