That seems unlikely, it's a completely different file and it would only
affect the outside (non-nested) environment rather than your own kernel.
The only instance of "0x86" in the registers is in the flags:

That would suggest a miscompilation of the inline assembly, which does
push the flags:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
"mov %%" _ASM_SP ", %[sp]\n\t"
"and $0xfffffffffffffff0, %%" _ASM_SP "\n\t"
"push $%c[ss]\n\t"
"push %[sp]\n\t"
#endif
"pushf\n\t"
__ASM_SIZE(push) " $%c[cs]\n\t"
CALL_NOSPEC
It would not explain why it suddenly started to break, unless the clang
version also changed, but it would be easy to ascertain and fix (in
either KVM or clang). Dmitry, can you send me the vmx.o and
kvm-intel.ko files?
Thanks,
Paolo
