Kselftest test case mov_ss_trap_64 is causing kernel panic on qemu-system-x86_64 and PASS on real x86_64 hardware.

This smells like CVE-2018-1087. Can you confirm that your *host* kernel is patched?
CVE-2018-1087 is extremely severe, and if your host kernel is not patched, I think you need to apply some serious pressure on your vendor to get with the program.
