The libvirt hang was a threading deadlock within libvirt, whereas this is a
kernel crash.  I'd be surprised if they are the same issue.

The current theory on the kernel bugzilla is that it might be related to
bridge + netfilter.  That does tally with the observation of it happening
under a network load test.

Guilherme: I've never seen the issue personally, but I haven't run network
stress tests, I run Debian, I prefer FlatManager etc.  Is it fairly easy to
reproduce e.g. by running ab against a guest?  I suspect this will be
outside of anything we can fix in OpenStack itself though; the final
outcome will likely be e.g. "you must use a kernel with patch X."  You can
either go straight to the latest versions, or if you provide a simple
procedure I'm sure a number of the big clouds will want to try it on their
own configurations.
