I reckon you don't see this with KVM enabled. (Because I don't see it
with KVM enabled, with my own OVMF builds anyway :), plus the "Trying to
execute code outside RAM or ROM" message comes from code that strikes me
as part of TCG.)

It surprises me that RIP=00000000ffffffe4 whereas get_page_addr_code()
[cputlb.c] logs "at 0x0000000100000000".

The RIP seems to be in OVMF init code.

0x0000000100000000 is 4G exactly and looks suspicious.

Can you try bisecting TCG between 1.4.0 and current master?
