Unfortunately I don't see any hint of where this ASCII data came from yet. The hdr fields you provided in stack frame #6 show that in_sg was overwritten during or after the bdrv_ioctl() call. We pulled valid data out of the vring and mapped buffers correctly. But something is overwriting in_sg and when we complete the request we blow up due to the bogus values. Please post your full qemu-kvm command-line. Please also post the exact qemu-kvm version you are using. I can see it's based on qemu-kvm-1.2.0 but are there any patches applied (e.g. distro packages may carry patches so the full package version information would be useful)?
