Root filesystems are often mounted with the "errors=remount-ro" option
(is it the Debian default?). So it's possible this is a domU decision to
go read-only, but the question remains as to what happened in the domU
to trigger this decision, can an OOM do that? There might be something
earlier in the domU dmesg?
