Hmm, only 19 patches between .37 and .38 touch vmx.c. Avi, any idea which
of those patches could cause this?

Might be several.

Markus, can you try a bisect?

The command

 $ git bisect start v2.6.38 v2.6.37 arch/x86/kvm

will generate test kernels for you to compile and run. There will be 7-8 tests needed, and most of the compiles should be short (esp. if you install ccache).
