Hi,
I'm getting periodic oopses running KVM-33 on 2.6.23-rc1. Here is a digital
photo of the oops. Alarmingly, a lot of the time it triple faults the machine
and I don't get a chance to grab it. This time I was lucky, though.

Unfortunately, some of the oops text scrolled out of the screen. I will
endeavour to reproduce the bug over serial console, but I can make no
guarantees.
The CPU is an AMD X2 BE-2350, chipset is AMD 690G.
If you are using the modules from 2.6.23-rc1, try upgrading to latest
-git, which contains a patch that might fix this problem. If you are
using the modules from kvm-33, try applying the attached patch.

KVM: disable writeback for 0x0f 0x01 instructions.
0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does
not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those
instructions.
This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD.
