It was a fix. We had some interrupts getting wedged - but I don't recall
the stack exactly. But there are some follows - like

Hm, not sure. I keep on getting those on my guests but life seems to go on.


The interesting about the stack trace is that it looks similiar to:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/39a397566cafc979

which has some fixes https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1091772/
but they may not help.
