SRU Justification:
Impact: Under heavy network I/O load virtio-net driver crashes making VM guest unusable.
Testcase: I left a current Lucid VM running two concurrent "scp -r" of > 200 GB from NFS read-only source to a physical remote host overnight. VM quickly started emitting "page allocation errors" in the system log. Next morning when I checked the VM I could still ping it but could not establish an SSH connection.
Fix: This patch from Bruce Rogers at Novell
