Assuming this solves the regression (it really should, it's now 
equivalent to a full revert minus comments):

can you confirm that your guest (sometimes) uses SYSENTER to do 
syscalls?

If yes then my theory is that we broke SYSENTER (or SYSEXIT) support - 
and that this would not be visible in our normal tests of KVM because 
SYSCALL is used most of the time.
