:What can I do to help diagnose this?

    It's basically dying on an instruction that it shouldn't be
    dying on.  All I can think of is that the linux hw kvm stuff
    isn't implementing the instruction properly, or that it is
    not reporting physical memory properly.

    This would need a kvm expert to figure out.  The register
    state looks correct, but we could try to match up %rcx's 
    physical memory address against the list of memory regions.

    If you boot the kernel verbose and record the entire dmesg output
    we can match those up to see if they are reasonable.
