Bisecting with unsafe_fsgsbase identified:

c82965f9e530 ("x86/entry/64: Handle FSGSBASE enabled paranoid entry/exit")

But I'm thinking that could be because it starts using GET_PERCPU_BASE,
which on Rome would use RDPID. So is SVM restoring TSC_AUX_MSR too late?
That would explain why I don't see the issue on Naples, which doesn't
support RDPID.

Thanks,
Tom
