I even tried hurd, but couldn't reproduce ... what is your qemu command
line and the output of host's `grep . /sys/module/kvm*/parameters/*`?

Great info ... the most suspicious between v4.12 and v4.13-rc5 is the
series with dcdca5fed5f6 ("x86: kvm: mmu: make spte mmio mask more
explicit"), does reverting it help?

`git revert ce00053b1cfca312c22e2a6465451f1862561eab~1..995f00a619584e65e53eff372d9b73b121a7bad5`

Thanks.
