If so, can you bisect to the > commit that introduced it? [Sorry, I missed this reply and just noticed it.] I can't certainly say that it's a regression of Kernel. I also heard from Dan Berrange (CCed), that when an booting L2 guest it caused L1 to panic and reboot on AMD. I don't have the AMD physical machine that I tested this on, will try to find one this week and see if I can bisect.
