OVMF, Hyper-V, virtio, Win7 incompatibility
Host kernel: v4.1-rc4
QEMU: qemu.git tag v2.3.0
OVMF: edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20150518.b1004.g54ae9c0.noarch
libvirt: 1.2.13.1-1.fc21.x86_64
Guest: en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso
If I attempt to use the above software versions to start a VM install, I hit one of two problems:
(a) If I use a virtio NIC, the VM aborts with an error similar to:
qemu-system-x86_64: Guest moved used index from 22 to 0
(b) If I use an emulated (e1000) NIC, the VM switches to a black screen when I should have the dancing windows boot animation logo
Both of these are resolved by switching off ALL Hyper-V enlightenments as shown in the below XML. Enabling any one of them results in the above behavior.
This problem is only seen with OVMF, removing the loader and nvram directives below allows all Hyper-V enlightenments to be enabled, with or without a virtio NIC.

The problem also does not occur using OVMF with Windows 8.1 install media: en_windows_8.1_n_with_update_x64_dvd_4065114.iso
Please refer to

especially note (2) under "Additional info" in Comment #0.
"Hyper-V extensions + UEFI guest firmware + Win7 guest + guest is multi-VCPU" is not a supported configuration, even in Microsoft's own stack.
Virt-manager has been modified to avoid such a configuration (see comment #10).
Is there still anything left to do here, or could we close this bug ticket nowadays?
