memset_orig?

Hmmm, your box doesn't set X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD. And looking at your
dmesg I can see why - that's a kvm guest and you're emulating some qemu
-cpu kvm64 or so thing, AFAICT.

Can you give me your full command line?

Btw, maybe you should try to trigger this on real metal, just in case,
to rule out virt issues. Or have you, already?

Thanks.
