I am wondering if this theoretical bug really exists. Now CKI of Redhat
reported crash dumping failed on below commit. I reserved a
intel machine and can reproduce it always. 

Commit: 5364abc57993 - Merge tag 'arc-5.7-rc1' of

From failure trace, it's the kvm vmx which caused this. I have reverted
them and the failure disappeared.

The trace is here.
