These messages result from a difference between a real hardware svm and
the emulated svm from kvm. Hardware SVM always injects an exception
first before it does an #vmexit(0x60) while the svm emulation does
immediatlt #vmexit again. I have a patch to fix this but it needs more
testing.

The patch implements detection of the above situation and sends an
self-ipi in this case.
