The QEMU barf says the GDT limit is 0xff, for better or for worse.

I added a global TLB flush right after __set_fixmap(), with no effect.
I instrumented the code a bit and I see:

The faulting instruction is, as expected:

   e:    8a 8a 00 50 87 ff        mov    -0x78b000(%rdx),%cl
  14:*    88 8a 00 50 87 ff        mov    %cl,-0x78b000(%rdx)
<-- trapping instruction

CR2 is what we expect.  It would be nice to see the GPA and GLA for
the EPT misconfiguration, but KVM doesn't appear to show it.

I doubt we're looking at an erratum here.  QEMU TCG triple-faults:

There's presumably something genuinely wrong with our GDT.
