VMvare Workstation 11 and 12 fail to start guest on a linux host with Z170 and Intel i5-6600

Might be related to this :

ESXi 6.0 fails to install on skylake processor

But I was not able to start the guest even when network deleted from VMX.

Guest kernel crashes with panic.

Tested fedora 22 and 23 both x64, VMware-Workstation-Full-12.0.1-3160714.x86_64.bundle and Workstation 11.1.3 build-3206955

Screenshot attached

Please help - any ideas ?

Well, free and open source QEMU-KVM works fine, so no need to worry, VMware.
