Is this still relevant with the current versions of the linux-hardened kernel? I recall having a similar issue with an Intel Centerton Atom machine crashing reproducibly as soon as I'd start a KVM VM somewhere around kernel 5.16, but the problem seemingly got fixed before I got to bisecting it. Sadly it's a headless machine in a datacenter, so I wasn't able to get error messages from the machine.
