[Bug 1778966] Re: Windows 1803 and later crashes on KVM

[Emanuele Faranda]

I ran into the same problem on threadripper 1900X. I was using cpu type
"host-passthough" and it crashed. I fixed the crash by disabling the MSR
with

kvm.ignore_msrs=1

as describe in https://forum.level1techs.com/t/windows-10-1803-as-guest-
with-qemu-kvm-bsod-under-install/127425/10
