Panic using kvm on a dual Xeon 5160 box

Built SmartOS with your illumos-kvm (pre-ept branch), running it on a box with dual Xeon 5160. kvms start ok, but sometimes (this happens normally with the debian installer after you hit return at the boot menu), it panics. my zones dataset is two mirrors, so unfortunately I can't save dumps on it properly (trying to remedy this, but the output from mdb is all I have for now):

This is one we've seen before and I've just found a machine that I have access to on which I can actually reproduce it, or something very similar. May not require a dump at this stage!

Now that we have support for dumping onto multi-vdev zpools, I have a dump for you! :) http://xylem.cooperi.net/pinnate-20120702-vmdump0.tar.bz2

Is there any update on this?
I have the same problem. The moment i boot up a Centos 7 KVM, the machine panics.
Looks like the same problem, the panic is the same.

If needed i can give access to an test machine with DRAC.
