Still, host dump at that point is useless, so the change makes sense. A guest dump would be useful (e.g. I think that GETSEC should not exit if guest CR4.SMX is disabled), but just giving the error is about as good and we want something short and rate-limited if the message can be trigerred by a guest in production ... ---8<--- We never needed the call trace and we better rate-limit if it can be triggered by a guest.
