Title:
  KVM and CFS bandwidth control causes kernel crashes (oops)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  We've seen this crash at least 3 times when we start setting CPU
  limits using `cgroups`.  It makes using CPU limits impossible, causing
  instabilities in the operating system.  Finally, after installing
  linux-crashdump, we got a full copy of the crash message.
