Dumping the role and gfn is most likely to be useful.  Assuming you aren't seeing
this WARN too:

	WARN_ON(!list_empty(&kvm->arch.tdp_mmu_roots));

then it's not a VM refcounting problem.  The bugs thus far have been tied to the
gfn in some way, e.g. skipping back-to-back entries, the MAXPHYADDR thing.  But I
don't have any ideas for why such a simple test would generate unique behavior.

Yep, I've tried Rome and Milan, and CLX (or maybe SKX?) and HSW on the Intel side.
