This patch is a bugfix, so I think it should be included in 4.6.
I'm able to trigger the above Oops pretty reliably by running an HVM
guest in a cpupool that has a scheduler different than Credit (by,
e.g., starting some load in the guest itself, or even just simply doing
`xl shutdown' on it).
It may not be the most common of the configurations, but I think it's
worth.
Thanks and Regards,
Dario
