The thing is, it booted fine on all my tests. It wasn't until I did hotplug where it crashed.
I'm not sure what's in CR4 when the CPU comes up, but perhaps zero is fine to start out and the writes to CR4 update makes the shadow and reg the same. It's when we hotplug that the two become out of sync.
Just my theory.
