Ugh. Yeah, it's pretty much guaranteed to be CPU specific behavior.
Tom, any idea what the guest might be trying to do? It probably doesn't matter
in the end, it's not like KVM does anything with the value...

Can you run with the below to see what bits the guest is trying to set (or clear)?
We could get the same info via tracepoints, but this will likely be faster/easier.
