The BUG_ONs are to detect VMX versioning inconsistencies between processors.
The weird thing here is that you presumably brought all CPUs online during
initial system boto with no problem. So somehow something has changed only
after resume from S3. I think you will need to add tracing to discover which
BUG_ON is failing, and why.
Incidentally, in my CPU hotplug cleanup I will be making it so that CPUs
that fail the checks will fail to come online, rather than crash the system.
Which is a bit of an improvement, but obviously something is buggy
underlying this (possibly in BIOS code).
