It's already fixed in QEMU upstream and the fix will be released with
the 6.0 version next month (the rc0 is already available):
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/bbd2d5a8120771ec59b86a80a1f51884e0a26e53

I guess xen-4.14.1 is using an older version, so if you want you can
backport that patch in your version, the change should be simple.

Thanks,
Stefano
