--- Comment #2 from Sean Christopherson (sean.j.christopherson@intel.com) ---
Ugh, I forgot much of a trainwreck the inline VM-Enter asm blob was in 4.19. 
Fixing this isn't nearly as straightforward as it should be, i.e. it'll take a
while to get a proper patch sent.

In the meantime, you should be able to avoid this by deleting the zeroing of
%rcx, e.g.

                "xor %%edi, %%edi \n\t"
