Oh shoot, sorry about that! Should have been this:

@@ -703,6 +702,7 @@ void disk_stack_limits(struct gendisk *disk,

struct block_device *bdev, pr_notice("%s: Warning: Device %pg is
misaligned\n", disk->disk_name, bdev);

        disk_update_readahead(disk);
 }
 EXPORT_SYMBOL(disk_stack_limits);

This didn't change behaviour, second guest still hangs.

Managed to write a program in C, which allows to reproduce this without
Qemu.
