The bug is related to the fact you leak memory on every S3 resume, by
reallocating hsa[cpu] and root_vmcb[cpu] which were never freed. Please see
c/s 19784 in the staging tree which does a general cleanup and fix of
start_svm(). It should fix your crash.
It does change behaviour a bit -- primarily: It does not reset the ASID
logic completely (I'm not certain there couldn't be VCPUs hanging around
pointing at earlier generations on this CPU, in which case it would be
dangerous to reset the ASID generation back to zero); Also, as well as not
reallocating hsa and root_vmcb, we don't re-init them either. I don't know
ehether that strictly matters but obviously we could easily re-jig the code
to always clear_page() those pages unconditionally.
