I have been looking into the problem. The alignment check is happening
on a "lock cmpxchg8b". Is it possible for ACs to happen when going
across page boundaries on cmpxchg8b in CPL 0? Is there any scenario when
ACs can happen with cmpxchg8b in CPL 0?

The reference manuals say that this type of fault can only occur when CPL=3.

The description of CMPXCHG8B does not place any restrictions on the alignment of the memory operand.
