This looks like the KVM RSM issue.  When you manage to run a buggy configuration (KVM + OVMF with secure boot support in the host, PCID (PTI or otherwise) and SMP in the guest), the first EFI call after AP bringup dies.

The actual failure is nasty.  When one CPU calls into EFI, all the other CPUs die --they enter SMM and they don't come back out correctly.  I think the best the guest could do is to try to generate a useful printk if this happens.

Update your host.
