You could try booting with nopcid to rule out CR4 issues.  I can also imagine SME's very clever CR3 masking causing a problem.

Unfortunately, if it's a PCID problem involving wrong ordering of CR4 initialization, you might get lucky if you suspend with ASID 0 active, causing unfortunate bisection results.

I will test on my XPS 13 after lunch.
