Subject: kvm vmwrite error

Greetings,

FYI, I got lots of these errors in 3.6.0 in one of my test box.
Attached is the full dmesg.

Another test box running the same kernel hangs and keep emitting the
following dmesg lines:

vmx_handle_exit: unexpected, valid vectoring info (0x80000b0e) and
exit reason is 0x31

Thanks,
Fengguang
