    Subject[PATCH] Fix undefined operation VMXOFF during reboot and crash
    Date
    If a panic/reboot occurs when CR4 has VMX enabled, a VMXOFF is
    done on all CPUS, to allow the INIT IPI to function, since
    INIT is suppressed when CPUs are in VMX root operation.
    However, VMXOFF causes an undefined operation fault if the CPU is not
    in VMX operation, that is, VMXON has not been executed, or VMXOFF
    has been executed, but VMX is enabled. This fix makes the reboot
    work more reliably by modifying the #UD handler to skip the VMXOFF
    if VMX is enabled on the CPU and the VMXOFF is executed as part
    of cpu_emergency_vmxoff().
    The logic in reboot.c is also corrected, since the point of forcing
    the processor out of VMX root operation is because when VMX root
    operation is enabled, the processor INIT signal is always masked.
    See Intel SDM section on differences between VMX Root operation and normal
    operation. Thus every CPU must be forced out of VMX operation.
    Since the CPU will hang rather than restart, a manual "reset" is the
    only way out of this state (or if there is a BMC, it can issue a RESET
    to the chip).
