I've booted back into kernel 3.8.0-26-generic and have successfully had
eight VMs, including two of the troublesome ones, running for at least
ten minutes. This might be a regression in the -27 kernels.

Title:
  Specific KVM instances lock my machine

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With my linux-generic package at 3.8.0.27.45 I had a lockup while
  running eight KVM instances; the soundcard continued to loop the
  little tiny sample of audio it was on.

  The only lines that made it to /var/log/kern.log:

  I've had ten or twelve KVM instances running before, it's a workload I
  know works.

  I was watching 'top' at the moment of the hang, and I still had over a
  gigabyte of cached and over a gigabyte of buffered memory available,
  so it wasn't as simple as running out of memory.

  Thanks
