Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 hangs at "kvm: exiting hardware virtualization" on AMD
  servers when under graceful reboot stress for 12hrs.

  * This hand is observed only when Onboard SATA DVD Drive is connected.

  * Not seen with Ubuntu 16.04.4 (HWE kernel v4.13)

  * Seen with Ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0-23-generic, 4.15.0-20-generic)

  Steps:
  Setup a DellEMC AMD server with Onboard DVD Drive, install Ubuntu 18.04 and start reboot stress
  After a few reboots, observe that the machine hangs at "kvm: exiting hardware virtualization" and does not proceed with reboot cycles.

  Only physical reset helps in continuing the reboot test.
