Appears that 4k stacks on recent changeset's is the root of my problem
bringing snmp guests on line. I switched to 8k kernel stacks and now I
have no more problem bringing up smp guests.

Is testing with 4k and 8k stacks part of the test suite?

I may be being ignorant here (very likely, hehe), but the changes to irq
handling must have some kind of ramification.
