It would be good to see what's at ffffffff81d58fad. My guess would be 
that it's xsetbv.

If it is then you probably want to make sure you are running hypervisor 
that has commit e8121c54 ("x86/xsave: enable support for new ISA 
extensions"). Looks like the first version that has it is 4.5 and you 
seem to be running 4.4.2.

Copying Jan to see if there are plans to backport this (probably not 
since it's a new feature).
