Thomas figured it out (and this should be really more widespread than just 
my machine :) ).

nosmt forces HT siblings to mwait, but that explodes after %cr3 change 
during resume, as the mwait target address is all of a sudden not valid 
anymore for neither of the hyperthreads.

That also explains why I apparently didn't see it that regularly with 
kaslr disabled.

Nothing to do with nvme, so let's not continue coming up with proper fix 
in this thread.

Thanks,
