Bug subject should be virtio-blk, not virtio-scsi.  virtio-scsi is a
different virtio device type from virtoi-blk and is not present in the
backtrace you posted.

Sounds pedantic but I want to make sure this gets chalked up against the
right device :).

Are you using vanilla qemu-kvm-1.2.0 or are there patches applied?

Have you tried qemu-kvm.git/master?

Have you tried a local raw disk image to check whether libiscsi is
involved?

buffer and len are ASCII junk.  It appears to be hex digits and it's not
clear where they come from.

It would be interesting to print *elem one stack frame up in #3
virtqueue_fill() to show the iovecs and in/out counts.
