Ok, it's unhappy because the RSVD bit is set in the error code.

And yeah, that seems to be due to NX in the pgd (nothing else is
certainly set), with presumably a virtual machine that doesn't support
it.

So I suspect your patch is indeed the right thing.

Presumably that is a triple fault.

That causes a reboot traditionally, and in a virtual environment that
would be approximated with a VCPU shutdown.
