Just some off-the-top-of-my-head thoughts:

Disable KASAN for the whole of MCE, I dunno.

v8086_mode() is a oneliner which does "return 0;" on 64-bit. I can't fathom how your crazy compiler decided not to inline it. Unless there's instrumentation gunk blowing this function up.

I guess we can inline that - it is simple and has a single call site. The compiler should have inlined it but for some reason I doesn't want to.

Your funny compiler doesn't inline that one either even if it is called only once, just like the above.
So, I'd like to reproduce that here and play with it a bit. What iso can I install in a guest here so that I can get pretty close to your environment?
Thx.
