This was fixed in kvm.git, use the attached patch (cd kernel/, and apply
with patch -p3).

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

    KVM: Lazy guest cr3 switching
    
    Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which
    might fail.  Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context
    switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry,
    where we can return an error if allocation fails.
