Odd, svm_data is NULL, so svm_data->asid_generation is oopsing.

  static void pre_svm_run(struct vcpu_svm *svm)
  {
  	int cpu = raw_smp_processor_id();
  
  	struct svm_cpu_data *svm_data = per_cpu(svm_data, cpu);
  
  	svm->vmcb->control.tlb_ctl = TLB_CONTROL_DO_NOTHING;
  	if (svm->vcpu.cpu != cpu ||
  	    svm->asid_generation != svm_data->asid_generation) <--- here <---
  		new_asid(svm, svm_data);
  }

Doesn't really make any sense to find svm_data == NULL, since it's
allocated during module init (or boot in this case).  If that allocation
failed, you shouldn't ever get as far as vcpu_run.

I'm assuming that:
gdb -q vmlinux
(gdb) p/x 0xffffffff8021d456 + 0x6f9cba
is the same as
(gdb) p/x &per_cpu__svm_data

Otherwise, seems a bit like memory corruption (doesn't happen here w/
your .config).

thanks,
