It seems most machines with this crash are real machines. And most of
those have an Nvidia driver installed. But Nvidia is not always present,
sometimes the crash happens with radeon and sometimes with vmwgfx.

Another feature of the crash seems to be this log message:

  libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

but often you won't notice it because gdm has detected the crash when
attempting to launch a Wayland session and started a Xorg session
instead. And so our incident reports mostly only show the Xorg session
starting up by the time the crash is caught. That's some good news at
least - the automatic recovery is kicking in and people who do have this
crash might not even notice it.
