Well, yes, I'm working on that. It's a tedious process trying to
convince VMware support that I really have bought support.

Meanwhile I'd like to understand what's going wrong here, and ideally
how to work around it. I found this blog post

http://www.basemont.com/panic_early_exception_i3_i5_i7_vmware_virtualbox_parallels

which seems to hint that the Linux kernel might be involved in the
problem after all. The processor in the problem host is a Xeon
E3-1270V2, while the other one which works fine has an E3-1230. Alas the
"nosmep" boot option did not have any effect.
