I don't have INVARIANTS enabled, and I can't enable it on the production
servers.  However, I can turn those three KASSERTs into VERIFYs and see
what happens.  Here is what your command shows on the server that panicked:
$ for x in $(jot $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) 0) ; do sudo cpucontrol -m 0x179
/dev/cpuctl$x; done | uniq -c
  16 MSR 0x179: 0x00000000 0x0f000c14
  16 MSR 0x179: 0x00000000 0x0f000814
