Yes. No luck reproducing the crash/panic. I am just not seeing the failure you
guys are seeing.

Let me build once more 2.6.33 vanilla + CONFIG_DEBUG_MARK_RODATA=n) and check
this. And also install a vanilla RHEL5 dom0 as it looks impossible to
compile a 2.6.18-era kernel under FC11.

The Xen I am using is xen-unstable - so 4.0.1. I know that the IRQ balance
code in the Xen hypervisor was fixed in 4.0 (it used to run out of
context - now it runs in the IRQ context). Maybe this bug you are seeing
(and have the fix for) is just a red-heering?
