I don't see any mention of "kvm" in the crash report. And it's only 1
file, not all of them, in this case I would expect it to be
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c. So it should be something different.

We do this. It work sometimes. But sometimes it hits non-deterministic
kernel build bugs:

And in this case it hit some git bisect weirdness which I can't explain yet:
