So Windows is setting EFER.SCE and EFER.NX while in long mode -
perfectly reasonable.  Can you rerun with the attached debug patch?

Log attached.

So the last bits are:

Oct 28 21:26:41 mchn012c kernel: update_transition_efer: efer_offset 4 efer d01
Oct 28 21:26:41 mchn012c kernel: update_transition_efer: ignoring all bits
Oct 28 21:26:41 mchn012c kernel: setup_msrs: marking efer for no reload

We're not reloading efer (correctly, as guest efer == host efer), yet vmx_save_host_state() fails while loading efer. I've looked at move_msr_up() (which is used by setup_msrs() to partition the msr space into reloaded and non-reloaded msrs), and it seems correct.

Can you see any way where update_transition_efer() returns false, yet efer turns up in the first save_nmsrs entries of vmx->guest_msrs?
