Can you make that:

setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PGE);

and see if it fixes your issue?

Hmm, in reading the thread a bit more, that might not work. If I see it
correctly, lguest does

clear_cpu_cap(&boot_cpu_data, X86_FEATURE_PGE);

after the alternatives have run and static_cpu_has() sites have already
been patched so clearing that bit won't bring anything.

Yeah, I just tried that out and it had no effect unfortunately, the
static_cpu_has() was still 1.
