  This looks very similar to comment 14 in the bug report
      https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203994#c14

  INS/OUTS isn't marked as supported, and single-context INVEPT is 
missing. As mentioned in comment 17, these are simple to work around but 
other issues started to show up, indicating that other problems are at play.

  Given kernel 4.15 looks like it could be from Ubuntu 16-LTS, I'd 
recommend moving to 18-LTS if that is possible, since that kernel 
version is known to work.

later,

Peter.
