[CentOS] Old kernel bug back in CentOS 6.10?

I updated a few hypervisors and their VMs to CentOS 6.10 on Monday;
today I awoke to an alert saying all VMs are down. It looks like a very
old bug crept back in.

The machine is a ProLiant DL380 G7 with Xeon X5675 and 96 GB, running
half a dozen smallish VMs. Hypervisor and all VMs have kernel
2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64. Around the time the VMs must have gone down,
there are quite a few error messages like the following in the system
log:

Curiously, the messages don't seem to indicate anything fatal in and of
themselves; there are a two like this a minute after bootup and like a
dozen more after about a day, none of which seems to have crashed
anything. However, it's the only obvious anomaly I could find around the
time and as it's VT-x related, I reckon there's a connection.

The stack trace closely resembles this bug that turned up in 2015 and was
fixed long ago: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/3/288

Has anyone seen this recently and could confirm or refute any of my
guesswork?

Cheers,
