The second one is not.  It is the fixup label, which will be hidden away
out-of-line, and lacking debug symbols.

Moving the printk into the fail case will identify which is the
problematic MSR.  We need the value of regs->_ecx here (the low 32bits,
not the full 64 as the commented printk currently has).

I have a small todo list of misc debugging improvements.  I will add
this to the list.
