Thanks. Yes, have seen that one too.

There are a handful of different MSRs mentioned, and these are not
always the same across each "burst" of unhandled rdmsr log messages.

After a bit of further head-scratching we think the crashes are
actually occurring due to kernel panics following SLUB memory
allocation failures related to heavy Lustre workloads. We've now
started patching Lustre clients for that and seeing the guest crash
stop. At this point I don't have any idea why this seems to correspond
with rdmsr attempts though (and actually it looks like the rdmsr
happens just prior to the SLUB failures).
