Found a bisect method that was viable.

    KVM: VMX: Drop initialization of IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR
        Remove KVM's code to initialize IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR when KVM is loaded now
    that the MSR is initialized during boot on all CPUs that support VMX,
    i.e. on all CPUs that can possibly load kvm_intel.
        Note, don't WARN if IA32_FEAT_CTL is unlocked, even though the MSR is
    unconditionally locked by init_ia32_feat_ctl().  KVM isn't tied directly
    to a CPU vendor detection, whereas init_ia32_feat_ctl() is invoked if
    and only if the CPU vendor is recognized and known to support VMX.  As a
    result, vmx_disabled_by_bios() may be reached without going through
    init_ia32_feat_ctl() and thus without locking IA32_FEAT_CTL.  This quirk
    will be eliminated in a future patch.

V5.5 was good. V5.6 was bad.
On v5.6 it causes the machine to instantly hardlock.
On v5.7 it drops the aforementioned WARNING in the log.

Basically:
Clean boot. Run test qemu. echo mem > /sys/power/state. Hit key to wake up machine. Run test qemu.

Good works. Bad hardlocks instantly.
